As of December 1, 2011 MSGIA will begin to offer access to low cost Notary Bond and Notary Errors & Ommissions insurance. The new program will be available through MSGIA membership to appointed notary individuals associated with MSGIA member organizations.
Notary commission rules has changed recently with new regulations and requirements. Notary bond must be compliant with the laws of the State of Montana. They must be for four (4) years and have a limit of at least $10,000. For complete Montana rules and regulations please go to http://sos.mt.gov/notary/Become_Notary.asp .
This new MSGIA Notary Bond program comes in response to numerous requests from our membership for a convenient one source process for all coverage needs. While Notary bond is excluded from normal MSGIA Crime coverage, this new program will provide easy access to Notary Bond coverage. MSGIA also recommends Errors & Omissions liability coverage as an option in addition to the bond requirement. See Alliant Notary Bond Rate schedule for optional Errors & Omissions liability limits and premiums.
