The correct answer is: 5,000

In Utah, a notary public is required to file a bond to provide a level of financial protection for the public against potential misconduct or negligence in the exercise of their duties. The bond amount that a notary public must file with the office of the lieutenant governor is set at $5,000. This amount serves to ensure that there are funds available to compensate individuals who may suffer damages due to the notary's incorrect actions or failures in performing their official duties. Having a bond in place is a standard practice in the notary profession and contributes to the trust and integrity of the notarial process. The bond amount reflects a balance between providing sufficient coverage for the public while not creating an undue burden on the notary. Understanding the bond requirements is crucial for anyone aspiring to become a notary public in Utah, as it is a significant part of their credentialing process.
