Quick answer

What the Amount Payable Depends On

There is no one-size-fits-all price for registering a notarial bond. What you pay turns on the specifics of your transaction — chiefly the type of bond and the amount it secures.

  • The type of bond: a general notarial bond (over all movable assets) or a special notarial bond (over specified movable property) are prepared and registered differently.
  • The amount secured: the value of the bond is a key factor in what is payable.
  • The detail of the transaction: matters such as the assets covered, the number of parties, and any supporting agreements all shape the work involved.

What Registration Involves

Registering a notarial bond brings together two distinct charges: a charge payable to the Deeds Office to lodge and register the bond, and the notary’s professional charge for drafting, attesting, and lodging the bond. How these apply to your matter depends on the bond itself, which is why we quote each transaction individually.

To understand the legal mechanics behind the registration — including the difference between general and special notarial bonds and how the process works — read our complete guide to notarial bonds in South Africa.
