What action is needed if a claim is made against an electronic or remote notarization bond?

In the context of electronic or remote notarization in Illinois, if a claim is made against a notary's bond, the law stipulates that the claim can be up to $25,000. This limit is important as it provides a financial safeguard against losses incurred due to errors or misconduct during the notarial act performed remotely.

Having a maximum claim amount helps to ensure that the notary has a specified level of liability coverage that can compensate for damages caused by their actions while performing remote notarizations. This measure not only protects the public but also reinforces the integrity of the notarial process.

The other choices suggest either different amounts or limitations that do not reflect the legislative guidelines governing notaries in the state, focusing instead on either lower, incorrect limits or denying claims entirely, neither of which support the intent of having a financial bond to back notarial acts. Having a bond that allows for claims up to $25,000 ensures that there are adequate protections in place for all parties involved in a notarization.
