What it is and who needs it.
What the notary bond actually guarantees
Indiana commissions notaries through the Secretary of State, and under IC 33-42-0.5-4 conditions the commission on a $25,000 surety bond filed for the commission's 8-year term. The bond is a public-protection guarantee: if a notary violates notarial law and someone is harmed, they can recover against the bond.
Important to understand: the bond protects the public, not you. If the surety pays a claim on the bond, the notary repays the surety. That is why this package also includes $15,000 of errors & omissions (E&O) coverage — E&O is true insurance that protects you against honest, unintentional mistakes, with no repayment.
Keep both in mind: the $25,000 bond satisfies the state's filing requirement, and the $15,000 E&O cushions you personally. The bond stays on file for your 8-year commission, and we keep your filing continuous through any renewal.
