Does notary insurance protect against identity theft or fraud claims? 

Only if you carry Cyber Liability Insurance or E&O with specific fraud-related endorsements: 

  • Cyber liability can help with costs tied to hacked documents, compromised digital signatures, or leaked client data. 
  • E&O may respond to allegations of negligence if someone claims they suffered a financial loss due to fraudulent notarization—even if you weren’t at fault. 

As identity theft risks rise, notaries need safeguards that go beyond the stamp.
