[WSBAPT] Renewing Bond for Notary?

Fri Nov 14 13:33:55 PST 2025

My office has always used ANS and we have never had any issues with early bond issuance. They are great and I'd recommend them if you are shopping for a new company/solution. They can issue a bond before the current one expires (with a future effective date), and the state will also renew prior to the expiration date. You simply cannot use the new stamp until the old one has expired, as you are likely aware, maybe the insurer is mistaking the two?

Best regards,

Subject: [WSBAPT] Renewing Bond for Notary?

Gentle Colleagues -

My office director and I are both coming due for our Notary expiration date. Being pro-active people we contacted our Notary Bond insurer to ask for a renewal and they said they can't renew until the other one expires.

The problem is that we cannot ask for a new notary until we have secured the bond.  Not wishing to be unable to notarize documents....I feel like my insurer is just not truly understanding the dilemma.

Has anyone had this problem? Do you have a source that will renew the bond in advance of the actual expiration?

Thank you!

Brent
