Why You Need a Notary Bond? A notary bond is a state-mandated requirement, guaranteeing the public that your notarial acts comply with the law. It offers financial protection in case of any wrongdoing. As a direct writer of notary bonds, Colonial Surety ensures compliance with state-specific regulations. The process is fast and easy—get a quote, fill in your details, and pay online. Your bond will be ready to file electronically or print within minutes.*

*The following states require the original notary bond with a wet signature: CA, HI, PA, AK, Guam, and DC. Bonds are issued digitally, but the original will be mailed promptly. You must submit the original to the obligee, with expedited FedEx delivery available for an additional fee. For questions, call 800-221-3662.

Why You Need E&O and Cyber Liability Insurance? While notary bonds protect the public, they do not protect notaries themselves. That’s where E&O Insurance comes in. It shields you from the cost of legal defense, settlements, or judgments if you are sued for negligence in your notarial duties. In today’s digital world, Cyber Liability Insurance is equally important, offering protection from cyberattacks, data breaches, and associated lawsuits. Our package ensures you’re covered for both potential errors and cyber incidents, safeguarding your reputation and business.
