Notary Protection For The Way You Work
Offering Notary Bonds, Notary Public & Notary Loan Signing Agent Bond Packages (Bond + E&O + Free Cyber) and E&O Standalone
What is a notary bond?
A notary bond is a surety bond that many states require before you can be commissioned as a notary public. It protects the public, not the notary: if a notarial error or misconduct causes someone a financial loss, the surety pays the valid claim up to the bond amount, and the notary repays the surety. Colonial Surety Company offers notary bonds up to $25K.
Where do I get a notary bond?
Buy your notary bond direct from Colonial Surety Company, the surety itself, online in minutes. Choose the bond alone, or add E&O and free Cyber coverage with one of the 4 options below.
