What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Nebraska requires a $15,000 bond before a notary can act anywhere in the state. Under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 64-102, the bond is executed by an incorporated surety, approved by, and filed with the Secretary of State — and a commission runs four years under § 64-101.
The bond protects the public: if you make a notarial error that harms someone — a botched acknowledgment, a missed identity check — they can recover against the $15,000 bond, and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. That's where the bundled E&O coverage earns its keep.
This package adds $15,000 of errors & omissions coverage on top of the bond. E&O is true insurance for you — it covers your own defense and liability for honest, unintentional notarial mistakes, so a good-faith slip doesn't come out of your pocket. The bond satisfies the state; the E&O protects you.
