Notary E&O & bond
coverage for
California notaries.

A notarial error — even a simple one — can expose you to a lawsuit. California notaries need both a state-required bond and E&O insurance to be fully protected.

Why CoverGuard
Why notaries choose CoverGuard
We make notary bonds and E&O fast, affordable, and simple.
✍️

Your CA bond is required — but it doesn't protect you.

The California notary bond protects the public, not you. If a mistake leads to a lawsuit, E&O pays your legal defense and any settlement. Every notary — especially signing agents — should carry both.

Common Questions
Everything you need
to know.
Does the CA notary bond protect me from lawsuits?+
No. The bond protects the public from your mistakes, not you. If someone sues you for a notarial error, E&O insurance pays your defense and settlement costs.
How much does notary E&O cost?+
Most California notaries pay $50–$200/year for E&O, depending on coverage limits and whether you do loan signings. It's very affordable protection.
Do I need E&O if I'm just an occasional notary?+
Even occasional notarizations can lead to claims. A single error on a will or real estate document can have significant consequences. E&O is strongly recommended.
How quickly can I get my CA notary bond?+
We can issue California notary bonds same-day in most cases. You'll receive your bond certificate electronically and can file it with your county clerk right away.
