Browse the storeWho it is for
Hawaii residents writing their justification and character letters, applicants preparing for the Attorney General's exam, and Hawaii notaries applying for a remote online notary commission.
Not the right fit if
You aren't applying in Hawaii, or you need practice for the closed-book exam itself; the Hawaii Notary Exam Prep covers it.
Why it is different
- Lists every HRS 456-17 fee, including the $25 remote act fee.
- Explains the justification and character letters.
- Covers the soft-cover record book rules and 10-year retention.
What is inside
- Letters, exam and the circuit court bond. Eligibility, the two letters, the $20, $10 and $100 fees, the 80% exam and the $1,000 bond filing.
- 456-17 fees, record book and round seal. The act-by-act fee list, the excise tax note, record book format and 10-year retention, and seal rules.
- Remote online notary commission. The separate RON commission, its fees, identity checks, X.509 certificate and 10-year recordings.
- Letters-to-filing checklist. Letters, application, exam, commission fee, bond and court filing, in order.
- Hawaii fee tally. The $20 application, $10 exam and $100 commission ($130 on a first pass) filled in, with blanks for the $1,000 bond, circuit court filing, seal and tax license.
- Record book practice pages. Columns for the entries the Attorney General's Manual lists.

Is this legal or tax advice?
General information from the Hawaii Revised Statutes and the Department of the Attorney General, not legal advice.
Do Hawaii notaries need a tax license?
If you charge, yes: the Attorney General's Manual requires a State general excise tax license, and your notary fees are subject to that tax. HRS 456-17 sets $5 for each party signing an acknowledgment.
