Many Notaries believe their bond protects them from personal liability. This simply is not true. Your Notary Bond only protects the public from your errors. If there's ever a claim, you'll have to repay the bonding company.
Notaries named in lawsuits are almost always honest, responsible public servants.
They are sued because they made innocent unintentional mistakes. It's usually employer pressure, phony ID or simple unfamiliarity with the law that gets Notaries in trouble. Yet you are still responsible.
