FAQ

You are allowed to notarize documents that are sent and /or recorded across state borders — provided, of course, that you are notarizing the document within the boundaries of your jurisdiction.

One of the most common mistakes that notaries make is not printing or signing their name exactly as it appears on their notary commission.

A valid, government-issued photo identification is required of any customer seeking Notary Service. The document(s) CANNOT already have been signed nor dated. All signers must be present at the time of notarizing. If your document requires a witness(s), they must accompany you.

To qualify for appointment as a notary public in Maine, the applicant must: Be at least 18 years of age. Be a resident of Maine or a resident of another state with a business or place of employment in the State of Maine. Be able to pass an examination administered by the Secretary of State.

California. California has some of the most stringent application requirements for Notaries in the U.S. — including a required education course and background check — and the mandatory exam is among the most challenging in any state.

Can a notary notarize in another state? It is unusual for a notary to transfer his or her commission to another state. If you would like to become a notary in another state, you will probably have to meet that state's specific requirements. Therefore, your commission will not transfer to another state.

The short answer is yes, notary publics are legally allowed to notarize documents from any state as long the notarial act is conducted within the geographical boundaries of the notary's state of commission.

Jurisdictional Issues A notary must understand which notarial acts are authorized in each jurisdiction. For example, some states (e.g., California) limit notaries to perform only within their home state borders, while others (e.g., Montana) may allow broader authority under certain conditions.
