Overview
Just received your Connecticut notary commission approval and want to make sure you're fully protected before you begin working? A Notary Public E&O Individual Policy in Connecticut is optional, voluntary coverage that many notaries choose to add for their own peace of mind. This individual errors-and-omissions policy covers you personally if a mistake in your notarial act causes a financial loss to someone you served — witnessing signatures, administering oaths, or certifying documents. It is your professional safety net, and Bond Titan makes getting it fast and simple.
Who Needs This Bond?
Connecticut notaries who want to protect themselves personally from the financial consequences of an honest mistake should consider this individual E&O policy. It is ideal for solo notaries — not agencies or signing services — whether you are a first-time applicant just getting your initial commission or a seasoned notary renewing your existing commission. Mobile notaries, signing agents, and those performing remote online notarization especially benefit from carrying this coverage, given the volume and variety of documents they handle. While no Connecticut state law requires an E&O policy, many notaries choose to add it as a smart layer of professional protection.
What is this Bond For?
Unlike a notary surety bond — which protects the public from losses caused by a notary's misconduct and may be required by state statute — this optional E&O policy protects you, the notary, from claims arising out of honest mistakes made in your notarial duties. If you make an error or omission while performing a notarial act and a claimant suffers a financial loss, this policy responds on your behalf. It covers the professional gap that a surety bond does not. Connecticut notaries are wise to consider carrying both forms of protection for comprehensive coverage.
When is it Required?
Connecticut state law does not require notaries to carry an E&O policy. This is entirely voluntary coverage you can purchase at any time — before your commission begins, after you are already commissioned, or at renewal. There is no deadline imposed by the state. That said, many notaries choose to have their E&O coverage active from the moment their commission is in effect so there is no gap in personal protection. You can buy this policy now or whenever it makes sense for your practice.
Where Does it Apply?
This E&O Individual Policy is written specifically for Connecticut notaries public and applies statewide — in every county and municipality where you are authorized to perform notarial acts. It is not a local or county-specific product; it follows your commission wherever your commission is valid in Connecticut. Whether you notarize in Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport, or any other Connecticut location, this policy travels with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
What information about my Connecticut notary commission will I need when I purchase this E&O policy online?
When you open the My Bond App portal you will be asked for basic personal and commission details — typically your full legal name as it appears on your commission, your commission number if it has already been assigned, your commission effective and expiration dates, and your Connecticut mailing address. Having your commission approval letter or certificate in front of you when you start the application will make the process faster and ensure your policy documents are issued correctly.
How does the term and coverage amount of this policy align with Connecticut's notary commission period?
Connecticut notary commissions run for five-year terms under state law. This individual E&O policy is structured to align with that commissioning cycle so your professional liability coverage stays in step with your active commission. The coverage amount available through this policy is set to provide a level of protection appropriate for a Connecticut notary public. You will see the specific term and limit options when you complete your application in the portal.
Does this E&O policy need to be filed with the Secretary of the State's office?
No. An errors-and-omissions policy is your personal professional liability coverage, not a filing requirement. You retain the policy documents for your own records. Unlike a surety bond, which may be filed directly with the Secretary of the State of Connecticut, this optional E&O policy is held by you. Keep a copy accessible so you can produce it quickly if a signing company, lender, or other party requests evidence of your coverage.
What happens after I click Buy This Bond Online?
