Alabama Notary Bond Overview

Alabama requires all notaries public to obtain a $25,000 surety bond, one of the highest bond amounts in the nation. This bond protects the public from financial losses caused by notarial errors or misconduct. Alabama has unique requirements including a minimum age of 21 years, higher than most states.

The Alabama notary bond must be filed with your commission application and remains in effect for the entire 4-year commission term. Unlike many states, Alabama does not require an examination or formal education, but you must demonstrate the ability to read and write.
