Errors & Omissions (E&O) Insurance

Do You Need E&O Insurance?

Errors & Omissions (E&O) Insurance is not required by law in most states, but we strongly recommend it for every notary public, especially those performing loan signings. While a notary bond protects the public, E&O insurance protects you. Even the most careful notary can make a mistake—and E&O helps cover legal defense costs, settlements, and damages resulting from unintentional errors.

What E&O Insurance Covers

rrors & Omissions (E&O) Insurance protects you if you make an unintentional error or oversight while performing notarial duties. Examples include:
  • Forgetting a signature
  • Misidentifying a signer
  • Using the wrong certificate wording
  • Failing to properly notarize a document
If you’re sued, your notary bond may not cover all costs—and even if it does, you’ll typically have to reimburse the bonding company. E&O insurance provides financial protection so your personal assets aren’t put at risk, giving you peace of mind on every notarization.
