Stephanie -
You had better take another look at your policy. A common approach used by NNA is to sell a 4-year bond and ONE YEAR E&O policy as part of a "package." At some point during the first year of your commission - probably in the last quarter - you will likely begin to receive renewal notices suggesting that you extend your coverage.
In our experience, this is a common misconception among notaries who have purchased these packages; they assume the E&O coverage term is the same as the bond (which MUST cover the entire term of the commission). Even more notaries in our experience are confused by the "activate your E&O coverage" mailings NNA has been sending. We have had multiple calls from notaries asking why they must pay NNA to activate the E&O policy they purchased from Notary Rotary.
As a final note, if you choose to renew your E&O coverage, you might consider a longer term if you're confident you'll be in the business that long. While it's obviously more money up-front, the cost savings can sometimes be substantial.
