Errors & Omissions insurance is not required for you to hold office as a notary public in the State of Florida. We highly recommend that you consider the purchase of this important protection, however, since you can be unjustly sued even if you are careful in performing your duties as a notary. We can provide this coverage on either an individual or group basis.

The Individual Errors & Omissions Insurance Policy covers the named notary with no coverage provided for the notary's employer. The policy is issued to cover the four year term of the notary appointment. The Employer's Group Errors & Omissions Insurance Policy covers all employees of an employer who hold a notary commission. The employee is the "insured" and employer is an "additional insured" under the policy. The employee is covered for notarial services on or off his employment activities. The one year policy premium for the group policy is determined by the number of notaries employed by the employer at the inception of the policy. New employees who are notaries are automatically covered by the policy until renewal when the "number of notaries employed" is updated on the policy. Terminated employees who are notaries are no longer protected by the policy.

The chart below details the available policy limits and corresponding premiums, depending on whether you chose an individual or group policy. Once you have selected the type of policy that best suits your needs, please complete the application below and mail it to our office with the appropriate payment. We accept personal and company checks, money orders, and purchase orders made payable to Florida Notary Association, Inc. Your policy will be sent to you in your notary appointment package in approximately two to three weeks.
