What is this bond?

An Illinois remote notary bond with Errors and Omissions (E&O) coverage is a dual-purpose surety bond package. The surety bond portion guarantees that the notary will perform their duties ethically and according to state guidelines, protecting the public from financial harm. The included E&O coverage acts as a safeguard for the notary themselves against unintentional mistakes or omissions made during traditional or remote notarizations.

Who needs it?

This bond package is typically needed by individuals seeking to become commissioned notaries in Illinois who also plan to perform remote or electronic notarizations. It is utilized by both new notary applicants and those renewing their commission who want to offer remote online notary services while securing personal liability protection.

Why is it required?

The obligee requires a bond to ensure that commissioned notaries uphold public trust and comply with state regulations governing both in-person and remote notarizations. It serves as a financial guarantee for the public if a notary commits fraud or a severe intentional breach of duty. The E&O coverage is often utilized to ensure adequate resources are available to cover unintentional professional errors.
