South Dakota Notary Bond

Effective July 1, 2025, the State of South Dakota no longer requires notaries to maintain a notary bond. To help protect yourself from unintentional errors or false claims, we recommend purchasing a Notary Errors and Omissions (E&O) insurance policy for the duration of your notary term.

Notary bonds and errors and omissions insurance policies provided by this insurance agency, American Association of Notaries, Inc., are underwritten by Western Surety Company, Universal Surety of America, or Surety Bonding Company of America, which are subsidiaries of CNA Surety.
