What it is and who needs it.
Bond protects the public — E&O protects you
Indiana requires a $25,000 notary surety bond for your Secretary of State commission under IC 33-42. That bond is a public-protection guarantee: if a notary’s misconduct harms someone, they can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. The bond does not protect you.
This version bundles in $10,000 of errors-and-omissions (E&O) insurance, which does protect you. E&O covers legal costs and damages from unintentional notarial errors — a missing seal, a wrong date, an overlooked signature — without requiring you to repay the insurer.
Indiana does not require E&O — only the bond. But because a single mistake can be costly and the bond gives you no protection, many notaries add E&O. The bond premium is the same flat $50; the bundle adds the E&O for your own peace of mind.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $25,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The carrier issues this bond for a single 8-year term; the term cannot be changed at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with your commission application. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your Indiana Secretary of State notary commission application or renewal. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $50 at the $25,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
