How it works
Notary work in Maine
We offer Maine contractors in-person jobs near them (mobile visits and loan signings) as requests come in; volume varies by area. We do not have an office in Maine. Remote online sessions are handled by our New Jersey notaries, so jobs here are in person. This is general information, not legal advice. The larger cities in Maine that our pages cover include Portland.

Maine fees
What Maine says about notary fees
The National Notary Association's state fee table shows no set maximum fee for notarial acts in Maine.
Those limits apply to the notarial act. Travel and service charges are treated separately and differently from state to state, so we confirm the Maine rules with you first.
A note on the state: Wikipedia names Bath Iron Works, Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, L.L.Bean, IDEXX Laboratories and Hannaford among notable employers.
Figures: NNA, Notary fees by state (updated September 16, 2026). States change fees, so verify yours. This is general information only.
Larger cities
Where notary work comes from
- Portland (Cumberland County): places that generate documents include Unum, Covetrus, KeyBank and M&T Bank, plus the marine economy and the Port of Portland.

Maine details
Before you apply in Maine
Notary commissions in Maine are tied to Maine Secretary of State. Before you apply, check that your commission is active and has at least 60 days left, because we cannot assign a job on a commission that is about to lapse.
Maine has 16 counties. Tell us which ones you will travel to and which you prefer to avoid, and we only offer in-person jobs inside that range.
What it pays
Pay and terms
Pay is per assignment, in dollars. Each job shows its pay up front. Take it, pass, or make a counter-offer. Nothing is assigned until you say yes, and we confirm the details with you before any Maine assignment. This is independent contractor work with a 1099 at year end.
A mobile notary visit is offered from $35 and a loan signing from $75, and plenty of offers come in above those amounts.
Jobs are offered one at a time as client requests come in near your home ZIP, around Portland, Lewiston, Bangor or anywhere else you are willing to travel. There is no guaranteed volume.
This page is not legal advice. Honest note: we are a young company, and we keep the team small so the contractors who join early get the work as it grows.
The application is right here: fill it in and upload your commission and E&O, and your NNA certificate for loan work. Fully documented applications may be approved automatically, and an email then walks you through the contractor agreement and W-9 so offers can start.

Maine notary contractor questions
Can I apply if I am commissioned in Maine?
Yes. Upload your Maine commission and E&O when you apply, plus an NNA certificate if you want loan signings.
Is there work in Maine right now?
We do not promise a number of jobs. Most in-person work is in New Jersey today, so Maine applicants are added to a pool and contacted as work arrives.
