California Notary Bond

Notaries in California are required by law to have a 4 year, $15,000 California notary bond. The California notary bond protects the people of California from any mistakes you might make while performing your notarial duties.

In order to protect your personal financial assets, we highly recommend you also purchase E&O Insurance. Notary E&O Insurance will protect you from damages that exceed the amount of the bond.

The bond protects the public, errors and omissions insurance protects the notary. We highly recommend that every notary has at least enough errors and omissions to cover the bond amount. If you have more assets to protect and notarize higher risk documents, we recommend a higher policy amount.
