In this episode you will learn:

- E&O insurance is optional for Arizona notaries, while a $5,000 surety bond is mandatory.

- The required surety bond is for the public's protection and the notary must repay any claims paid from it.

- E&O insurance protects the notary's personal assets by covering damages and legal defense costs.

- Exam questions often create scenarios to test your understanding of who is protected by a bond versus E&O insurance.

- A common exam trap involves confusing the mandatory nature of the bond with the optional nature of E&O insurance.
