BECOMING A NOTARY
what is my first step? I understand I have to fill out the application, but do I fill out the application and send it in, then get my bond? But it is saying I have to already have the bond and insurance when I do the application.
Also when I try to buy the bond/insurance it is making me put in a commissions number... I do not have that until I am approved though. I am confused!

Tabbytha: Take a deep breath. Exhale slowly. Now, call your Secretary of State and take notes. Good luck!

In Florida, your bond comes with your commission. You just pay for your E&O insurance, and can also get it at the same time. The company you order your stamp and commission through will have it all explained.

In Florida your bond is filed with your application..
you have to have that before they'll issue your commission. E&O is not required.
