Notary insurance
Notary professional liability (E&O) starting at around $200 a year
Prices vary by location. We quote professional liability for every notary, and you can add general liability. Individual notaries and notary signing agencies are both welcome.
There are several types of insurance a notary should consider
Every quote we start includes professional liability. You choose whether to add general liability. The list below shows what else notaries ask us about.
Professional liability (errors and omissions)
General liability
Data breach or cyber liability
Notary bonds
Workers compensation
Mobile notary insurance
As a mobile notary you travel to the offices and homes of your clients. Because you travel, think about general liability insurance as well as professional liability insurance.
Some quotes include general liability. Other quotes need you to add it. Look at the two claim examples to see the difference.
Professional liability
You miss a signature. The loan does not close on time. The client sues you for the loss.
General liability
You put your notary bag on the floor. A client trips over it and is injured.
Notary signing agencies
A signing agency sends out other notaries. If you send out employees or independent contractors, you need a policy that allows more than one notary. Use the signing agency form so we ask you the right questions.

What are the common names for insurance for notaries?
The insurance industry calls it notary public professional liability. People also call it notary E&O insurance, notary errors and omissions insurance, or E and O insurance for a notary public. It is not the same as general liability.
How fast can I get proof of insurance?
An individual notary with 3 people or less in the business can buy online and get proof of insurance right away. The online option gives you proof of insurance after you buy, if the quote is eligible.
What is the difference between a notary bond and E&O insurance?
A bond protects the public. If the surety pays a claim, you normally pay the surety back. E&O insurance protects you. It responds to a claim that your mistake caused a financial loss.
Do I need to file a claim?
If you are a client and you need to file a claim, first look at the contact information in your policy. If you need more help, use the contact form.
