Bond + E&O

Pennsylvania Notary Bond + E&O Package

Pennsylvania requires a $25,000 notary surety bond. Within 45 days of appointment, the notary must record the bond, oath of office, and commission at the recorder of deeds in the county where they maintain an office. Commissions run for four years, and E&O insurance is optional.

What you're buying

  • A $10,000 Pennsylvania notary surety bond — the guarantee that backs your commission.
  • Errors & omissions coverage with a $10,000 limit, protecting you subject to the policy terms.

Purchase, application, and issuance are completed through The Southern Agency's secure checkout — the licensed insurance agency behind Notary.Bond.
