Our $10,000 Tennessee notary bond comes with a FREE $10,000 Errors and Omissions Insurance policy. A notary bond is a surety bond that protects the public against wrongdoing by the notary.

IMPORTANT REMINDER: The notary bond DOES NOT protect the notary!

Notary Public Underwriters highly recommends notary E&O protection for our notary customers. You receive a FREE $10,000 E&O with purchase of $10,000 Notary Bond; however, you can increase your protection by purchasing a second errors and omissions insurance policy today!

Why Purchase Tennessee Notary Public E&O Insurance?
A small mistake can be very expensive. Notarial losses are becoming more common every day, from small suits to major verdicts involving tens of thousands of dollars. The required Tennessee notary bond DOES NOT cover you in these cases. Just as you protect your home, car and other personal effects with insurance, you need to protect your notarial acts with Tennessee Notary Public Errors and Omissions Insurance. The term of the policy is the same as your notary commission. Policies may be purchased at a nominal premium with varying limits. Get the protection you need so you can perform your notarial duties with confidence!
