How to Choose a Bonding and Notary Supplies Company

It is critical to choose a very reputable notary bonding agency and a notary stamp and notary supplies company that is approved by your state to issue notary bonds and notary supplies. As with any notary insurance, you want an agency you can count on. One that will still be here tomorrow and for years to come.

Many states' notary administrators post approved bonding agencies; some states do not require notary bonds at all, but some do. Here are some important points to consider when choosing a bonding agency and/or notary supplies resource:

• Return policy - do they stand behind their notary stamps and notary supplies?


• Pricing of notary supplies - are the prices reasonable, and can you qualify for discounts?


• Do they make notary stamps in-house?


• What is the expected turnaround time for delivery of notary supplies?


• Are their shipping charges reasonable?


• How long have they been in business? Find a company with years of experience and expertise.


• Will they be around in the future? You want to know when the time comes for your commission renewal that they'll be there.


• Are they nationwide? Some companies only offer notary supplies for certain states.


• Do they have a physical address in your state or just a post office box? You should always ask for a physical address.
