Overview
Already commissioned as a Delaware notary — or about to be? This is a smart time to consider adding an extra layer of personal protection. A Delaware Notary Public E&O Individual Policy is optional coverage that protects you personally if a mistake, oversight, or error in your notarial duties results in a claim against you. This is the coverage that safeguards your own finances — separate from the bond that protects the public.
Who Needs This Bond?
Any individual notary public commissioned in Delaware who wants personal financial protection against claims arising from notarial errors should consider this E&O policy. New notaries and renewing notaries alike benefit from carrying it — one honest mistake can be costly without it. Mobile notaries, signing agents, and those performing remote online notarizations especially find this coverage valuable. If you're performing notarizations regularly, adding this optional policy is a practical and recommended step many Delaware notaries choose to take.
What is this Bond For?
Delaware's required notary surety bond protects the public — not you. This optional E&O individual policy fills the gap by covering your own liability when a notarial act goes wrong. If a client suffers a financial loss due to an error, omission, or oversight in how you performed a notarization, this policy can cover the resulting claim against you personally. It is the professional protection layer that sits alongside your state-required bond, and one many notaries choose to add for their own peace of mind.
When is it Required?
E&O insurance is not required by the state of Delaware — it is entirely voluntary coverage that you can purchase at any time. You are not required to carry an E&O policy to obtain or maintain your Delaware notary commission. That said, many notaries choose to purchase it at the same time they secure their state-required notary bond, before their first notarial act. Renewing notaries may also want to secure a new policy before their current commission term expires to avoid any gap in personal coverage. The key point: you can buy this policy anytime, and it is never too late to add this recommended protection.
Where Does it Apply?
This E&O policy applies statewide across Delaware, covering notarial acts performed anywhere within the state under your Delaware commission. It is individual coverage tied to you as the commissioned notary, not to a specific county or employer. Whether you notarize in Wilmington, Dover, or a rural Sussex County office, this policy follows your commission.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this Delaware E&O policy cover electronic notarizations and remote online notarizations (RON)?
Delaware has authorized remote online notarization, and if you are commissioned and approved to perform RON, your E&O policy should cover those acts just as it covers traditional in-person notarizations. Review your specific policy terms to confirm that electronic and remote notarial acts are included in the coverage scope — and make sure your RON platform credentials and commission authorization are current before performing any remote notarizations.
When is the best time to purchase a Delaware E&O policy?
You can purchase an E&O policy at any time — before your commission is issued, right after, or at renewal. Many Delaware notaries choose to buy it at the same time they secure their state-required notary bond so both are in place before their first notarial act. Renewing notaries often treat the E&O policy as part of the same renewal checklist they complete each commission period. Because the policy is voluntary, there is no state deadline, but the sooner you have coverage in place, the sooner you are personally protected.
If I move to a different county within Delaware, does my E&O policy stay valid?
Yes. Your Delaware Notary Public E&O Individual Policy is statewide coverage tied to your Delaware commission, not to a specific county of residence. Moving from New Castle County to Kent County, for example, does not affect the validity of your policy. Your commission, however, may need to be updated with the state if your residential address changes — check with the Delaware commissioning office to confirm any notification requirements, and carry your updated information consistently across all notary records.
