RE: DISCONTINUATION OF RISK MANAGEMENT BONDS FOR NOTARY PUBLIC

Beginning May 9, 2017, The Division of Risk Management will no longer issue bonds for State employees applying to be notaries public. Current Risk Management bonds issued to notaries will stay in effect until commission expiration.

State employees applying for a notary public commission after May 9, 2017, will need to acquire a surety bond through an insurance company in order to meet the requirements to become a notary public. A notary surety bond through an insurance company can cost approximately $50.

The process to become a notary public for the state of Utah can be initiated at notary.utah.gov. If you or your employees have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us at 801-538-1041 or notary@utah.gov.

Thank you.
