§456-5 Official bond. Each notary public forthwith and before entering upon the duties of the notary's office shall execute, at the notary's own expense, an official surety bond which shall be in the sum of $1,000. Each bond shall be approved by a judge of the circuit court.
The obligee of each bond shall be the State and the condition contained therein shall be that the notary public will well, truly, and faithfully perform all the duties of the notary's office which are then or may thereafter be required, prescribed, or defined by law or by any rule made under the express or implied authority of any statute, and all duties and acts undertaken, assumed, or performed by the notary public by virtue or color of the notary's office. The surety on any such bond shall be a surety company authorized to do business in the State. After approval the bond shall be deposited and kept on file in the office of the clerk of the circuit court of the judicial circuit in which the notary public resides. The clerk shall keep a book to be called the "bond record", in which the clerk shall record such data in respect to each of the bonds deposited and filed in the clerk's office as the attorney general may direct.
