What is this bond?

A Kentucky notary public surety bond combined with errors and omissions (E&O) insurance acts as a financial guarantee of a notary's ethical and legal performance. The surety bond portion protects the public from financial harm caused by improper notarizations, while the E&O coverage protects the notary from liability for unintentional mistakes.

Who needs it?

Individuals applying to become a newly commissioned notary public or those renewing their existing commission in Kentucky typically need this bond. It is generally a standard requirement for anyone seeking authorization to perform official notarial acts within the state.

Why is it required?

The state requires this bond to protect the public and ensure citizens have a path to financial recourse if they suffer damages due to a notary's fraudulent or unethical actions. It serves as a guarantee that the commissioned notary will faithfully adhere to all governing regulations and perform their duties responsibly.
