What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees — and how E&O differs
Missouri requires every notary to maintain a $10,000 surety bond during the commission term under §486.605 RSMo (the 2021 Revised Uniform Law on Notarial Acts), filed with the Secretary of State. The bond protects the public: if you make a notarial mistake or misconduct that financially harms someone, they can recover against it.
Here's the part most people miss: the bond does not protect you. If the surety pays a claim against your bond, you repay the surety. That's why this package adds $25,000 of errors & omissions (E&O) insurance — true coverage that pays your defense and losses from an honest notarial mistake, so a slip doesn't come out of your pocket.
The commission term in Missouri runs four years, and the bond must stay in force for the whole term. An E&O policy does not replace the bond; you need both, and this package gives you both in one filing.
