What is E&O insurance for notaries?
Short answer
Errors and omissions insurance protects the notary. It covers defense costs and damages if the notary makes an unintentional mistake in a notarial act.
Full explanation
E&O is optional in most states but effectively required by signing services and title companies, commonly at $25,000 to $100,000 in coverage. It is inexpensive relative to the risk. It does not cover intentional misconduct.
