Notary Bond

Commission duties and optional E&O insurance must be evaluated separately even when sold in a package.

29 bonds

Purpose

Commission duties and optional E&O insurance must be evaluated separately even when sold in a package. 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.

Before you buy

  1. Bring commission details and compare any separately labeled E&O limit.
  2. Have the commissioning name, commission dates, and requested bond form.
  3. Decide whether the request includes optional E&O insurance and compare that limit separately.

Common questions

Are you selecting a bond-only offering or a package with E&O insurance?

Bring commission details and compare any separately labeled E&O limit. Compare that information with the exact capacity, activity and obligee named in the written request. Similar catalog labels do not establish an interchangeable form.

Is a type guide the bond I should purchase?

A type guide explains the activity. Choose a jurisdiction-associated parent listing and compare its actual source options with your written requirement; the type page is not a purchasable form.
