If your bond or E&O insurance lapses, every notarization you perform after that date could be invalid.

Don't find out the hard way. Montana notaries must track three separate expiration dates from three different providers — commission, surety bond, and E&O insurance. Missing one means you're notarizing without valid authority.

Three dates. Three providers. Easy to lose track of.

Unlike your driver's license or car registration, notary renewals don't come with a sticker on your windshield. They're buried in email, lost in mail, or forgotten until it's too late.

Commission

Montana Secretary of State issues your notary commission. It expires every 4 years — but do you know when?

Surety Bond

Montana requires a $10,000 surety bond. Your bond provider sends renewal notices — if they don't go to spam.

E&O Insurance

E&O policies typically run on different cycles than bonds. Two separate expiration dates to remember.

Frequently asked questions

Why do I need both a surety bond and E&O insurance?

Montana requires a surety bond to become a notary, which protects clients from fraud or negligence. E&O insurance protects you personally from lawsuits alleging professional mistakes. They're separate coverages with separate renewal dates.

When does my Montana notary commission expire?

Montana notary commissions are valid for 4 years from the date of issuance. Check your certificate or search by name at sos.mt.gov to find your exact expiration date.

What happens if I notarize after my credentials lapse?

Any notarizations performed without valid credentials may be legally invalid. You could face civil liability, disciplinary action from the Secretary of State, or criminal charges for unauthorized practice of notarial services.

Can I cancel my Pro subscription anytime?

Yes. Cancel anytime from your settings page. You'll retain Pro features until the end of your billing period.
