What is a Louisiana notary bond?
A Louisiana notary surety bond is a promise, backed by a surety company, that helps pay a person who is harmed by a mistake or by misconduct of a notary. The bond is for the public. It is not for the notary. If the surety pays a claim, the notary usually has to pay the surety back.
Louisiana is unusual. The commission is for life, the notary must pass a state exam, and the bond is renewed on a five-year cycle. Louisiana attorneys are exempt from the bond requirement.

Notary errors and omissions (E&O) insurance
A notary bond protects the public. E&O insurance is intended to protect you, the notary, against a claim that comes from an error, a mistake or alleged misconduct in your notarial work. Many Louisiana notaries add an E&O policy next to the bond.
