What is this bond?

A North Dakota notary bond is a financial guarantee protecting the public from damages resulting from a notary's unethical or unlawful acts. The included Errors and Omissions (E&O) insurance provides an additional layer of protection specifically for the notary against unintentional mistakes. Together, they ensure ethical notarizations while safeguarding the notary from liability for accidental errors.

Who needs it?

Individuals applying to become a newly commissioned notary public or renewing an existing commission in North Dakota typically need this bond. It is an essential credential for anyone intending to legally perform notarial acts within the state.

Why is it required?

The state requires this bond to ensure notaries strictly follow all guidelines and perform their official duties honestly. It acts as a financial safety net for the public if a citizen suffers losses due to a notary's misconduct. The E&O coverage is utilized to provide the notary with crucial personal protection against lawsuits stemming from honest mistakes.

Frequently asked questions

Does the included E&O insurance cover intentional fraud?

No, Errors and Omissions insurance only protects the notary against unintentional mistakes or accidental omissions. It does not cover deliberate misconduct or fraudulent acts.

How much does the North Dakota notary bond cost?

Premiums vary based on underwriting and specific application requirements. Please apply online or call Noah Insurance Agency at 814-718-0060 for an exact quote.

What is the required bond amount for a North Dakota notary?

Bond amount requirements vary and are determined by the commissioning authority. You should always verify the exact required bond amount and E&O coverage limits with the North Dakota Secretary of State before applying.

What happens if a claim is filed against my notary bond?

If a valid claim is filed due to your misconduct, the surety compensates the harmed party. You must then reimburse the surety, though your E&O insurance may cover the costs if the claim resulted from an honest mistake.
