What is a New Mexico notary bond?
A New Mexico 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.
New Mexico requires a surety bond as part of the notary application, and the bond must be filed with the state before you can act as a notary.

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 New Mexico notaries add an E&O policy next to the bond.
