New Mexico Notary Bond
The State of New Mexico requires notaries to purchase a notary bond. A notary bond is a surety bond that protects the public against any wrongdoing on the part of a notary. The notary bond will compensate an individual harmed as a result of errors or mistakes performed by a New Mexico notary.
The New Mexico notary bond is a $10,000 bond and is valid throughout your 4-year notary commission in the State of New Mexico. In addition to the notary bond, it is also required that a New Mexico notary obtain a state-approved notary seal. The notary bond and a notarial seal are available in our premium notary package.
