- The Notary Bond (Required by State)

All Notary Public Bonds issued have a $5,000.00 bond amount and all fees are fully earned upon issuance of the bond. - Errors & Ommisions Insurance
The Notary Bond protects the general public, not the notary. In fact, after a bonding company pays damages on a claim against a notary, it has the right to seek monetary recovery from the notary. Even if a suit isn’t valid, the notary could still be faced with costly attorney’s fees. Notaries named in lawsuits are almost always honest, responsible citizens who are conscientious about their notarial duties and do not cheat or deceive anyone. The vulnerable position notaries find themselves in is often the result of employer pressure, fraudulent identification, or unfamiliarity with the law; yet, the notary may still be held responsible and liable. Our errors and omissions policy will pay covered claims (including attorney’s fees) up to the limit of the policy for innocent and unintentional mistakes. There is no deductible. The errors and omissions insurance policy is four four years and coincides witht the same time period as your notary bond. Note: Errors and omissions insurance is not a requirement for your notary commission.
