Where must the surety bond be filed?

County clerk's office
Department of motor vehicles
Office of the Attorney General
Office of the Governor

The correct answer is: County clerk's office

The surety bond must be filed with the county clerk's office because this is where official documents related to notary public services are recorded. The county clerk’s office serves as the custodian of such public records, ensuring that the bond is accessible and verifiable for legal and administrative purposes. This requirement is critical in establishing the notary's legitimacy and authority to perform notarial acts within their jurisdiction. While other offices mentioned may play roles in various notarial processes or regulatory functions, the county clerk's office specifically handles the filing and maintaining of surety bonds for notaries public. Therefore, filing in this location is both a procedural necessity and a legal requirement.
