This policy covers the investigation, defense, and settlement of claims related to acts committed or alleged by the Insured, subject to the policy's limits and provisions.

Travelers' Errors and Omissions (E&O) policies must be purchased alongside a Travelers Bond or within 6 months of the bond's issue date.

The $100,000 Travelers policy requires completing a brief application.

The California Notary Public Errors and Omissions Policy provides liability protection for California Notaries Public, covering negligent acts, errors or omissions during the policy period, subject to policy limits. Unlike a notary bond, which only protects the public, this policy offers protection for the notary by covering the costs of investigation, defense and settlements within the policy’s liability limit. Once the limit is exhausted, the policy no longer provides coverage, leaving the notary personally responsible for any further legal fees or damages.

Most policies offered have "fully-earned" premiums, meaning the premium is non-refundable. If you plan to perform notarial services throughout your commission term, it's recommended to purchase a long-term policy. If higher coverage becomes available during your policy term, you can upgrade by contacting us to calculate the pro-rated cost.

Note: This is not the California notary bond required for commissioning.
California requires a $15,000 notary bond to become a notary public, which must be purchased separately. Because the bond only protects the public, and the surety can recover any paid amounts from you, it’s strongly recommended to purchase Errors and Omissions coverage at least equal to the bond amount. We recommend aligning the E&O coverage with your bond or commission term (4 years in California), to avoid lapses in protection. At a minimum, we suggest $15,000 in Errors and Omissions coverage.

Bonds and E&O policies are underwritten by Travelers Casualty Company of America, Hartford, Connecticut.
