All Notary Publics should have a Notary Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy.
A Notary Public carries a lot of responsibility with every signature. The Notary signature is a legal attestation to the validity of what is contained in the document, and therefore the Notary can be held liable for any damages that may result from the act of notarization. Notarizing forged signatures and documents, or errors and omissions on the part of the Notary, either intended or unintended. can have disastrous financial results.
