Louisiana Errors & Omissions Insurance

An Errors & Omissions (E&O) insurance policy protects you financially if you’re sued for an unintentional mistake or if you face a false claim or accusation in performing your notarial acts.

Why E&O matters in Louisiana

Even the most experienced Notaries can make mistakes or have a false claim filed against them — sometimes years after a notarization was performed.

Beginning February 1, 2026, Louisiana law requires all commissioned and ex officio Notaries to carry a $50,000 Notary surety bond. Although E&O will no longer be accepted in place of the bond, it’s still just as important.

A Notary E&O policy helps protect you for covered claims:

  • Cover defense costs: Avoid paying out-of-pocket for attorney fees, court costs, and other legal expenses.
  • Protect against false or frivolous claims: Even if you did everything right, you may still incur legal fees for your defense.
  • Provide peace of mind: Unlike a bond, you don’t have to repay covered E&O claims, keeping your personal finances protected.

Match your E&O coverage to the new bond amount

A Notary bond protects the public (your signers and those relying on your notarizations) — not you. We recommend having a $50,000 E&O policy to match the $50,000 bond amount required in Louisiana. This way, your E&O coverage aligns with your bond liability and provides strong protection for your finances and your notarial work.

Convenient, affordable protection

  • Policies available in 5-year terms (matching Louisiana’s filing cycle)
  • No deductible or repayment requirement
  • Fast and reliable E&O policy issuance through the NNA
