What is a Utah notary bond?

Utah Code Title 46-1-4 requires individuals file a 4-year $5,000 surety bond as part of its notary commission application filing process. By filing this bond, the principal (notary public) agrees to perform all notarial acts as required by Utah law and avoid committing prohibited acts. If the notary fails to do so, claims can be made against the bond to protect harmed parties from financial loss up to the full $5,000 bond amount. Notaries must reimburse the surety company for any claims paid.

Who commissions notaries in Utah?

The Utah Office of the Lieutenant Governor enforces commission requirements and manages notary forms for individuals appointed as notaries in the state.

How long is the term of a notary public bond in Utah?
