Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about notary public bonds

What is a notary bond?

A notary bond is a surety bond required by most states as part of the notary commission application. It protects the public from financial harm caused by a notary's errors, omissions, or misconduct. Bond amounts range from $500-$25,000 depending on state. Unlike insurance, the notary must reimburse the surety for any claims paid.

Notary bond vs notary E&O insurance: What's the difference?

A notary bond protects the PUBLIC and you must repay claims. E&O insurance protects YOU and pays claims without repayment. Bond costs $40-$100 for 4 years; E&O costs $20-$50 annually. Smart notaries carry BOTH for complete protection.
