Washington Notary Bond

Washington notaries are required by law to have a 4 year, $10,000 Washington notary bond. The Washington notary bond protects the people of Washington from any mistakes a notary might make while performing notarial duties. In order to protect your personal financial assets, we highly recommend you also purchase E&O Insurance.

Washington bonds and E&O will be emailed within 12-24 hours after placing an order.

Notary E&O Insurance helps protect you from lawsuits arising from the performance of your notarial duties. If you make a mistake, a claim may be made on your bond and you may be sued. Without an E&O policy, you will be fully responsible for reimbursing the bond claim and for the cost of your legal defense.
