Notary Bonds & Related Insurance

A notary bond and notary errors and omissions insurance protect different interests. Packages must be compared using the bond requirement and any separately stated insurance limit.

29 bonds

Purpose

A notary bond addresses duties of the commissioned notary under its form; optional E&O insurance has its own coverage terms.

Who needs it

Applicants and renewing notaries checking a commissioning requirement and any optional E&O package.

Who it protects

The surety bond generally protects others affected by covered notarial misconduct. E&O insurance is separate protection subject to its policy, not an increase in the bond amount.
