Every Pennsylvania Notary Public, upon appointment and prior to entering upon the duties of the office of notary public, shall:
- Take and subscribe the constitutional oath of office.
- Give a surety bond, payable to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in the amount of $10,000.00 and record it with the Recorder of Deeds in the proper county.
- File the approved bond with the Secretary of the Commonwealth.
Upon recording the bond with the Recorder of Deeds, the Recorder of Deeds will file the bond with the Secretary of the Commonwealth.
Unless the bond as well as the commission and oath of office are recorded within the proper office of the recorder of deeds within the forty-five (45) days of the beginning of the term upon appointment or reappointment, they shall be null and void.
The notary bond guarantees a notary public’s faithful performance of duty. M. BURR KEIM AGENCY will execute your notary bond for only $50 for the four year term of your commission. Your bond will be completed and emailed or mailed to you.
