Maryland Notary Starter Kit: Requirements, Fees, ID Rules, Remote Notarization and Startup Checklist
Maryland routes every application past your state senator and gives you 30 days to take the oath at the circuit court. This kit covers that path, the $8 fee cap, the 10-year journal and remote notary notification.

Browse the storeWho it is for
Marylanders taking the required course and exam, newly approved Maryland notaries heading to the Clerk of the Circuit Court, and notaries filing the remote notary form.
Not the right fit if
You aren't applying in Maryland, or you need the approved course and exam, which you take separately after ordering the $30 handbook.
Why it is different
- Fee caps come straight from COMAR 01.02.08.02 as amended in January 2024.
- Explains the remote notary notification, the vendor list and the 10-year recording rule in one page.
- Journal pages include the ID-number column Maryland regulations call for.
What is inside
- Handbook, course, exam and senator approval. Who qualifies in Maryland, the approved course and exam, the $25 application, senator approval and the 30-day oath deadline.
- $8 fee cap, ID, journal and stamp. COMAR fee caps including copies and travel, the IDs Maryland accepts, the 10-year journal entries and what the stamp must show.
- Remote notary notification and the notario rule. How to notify the Secretary of State before remote work, vendor and recording rules, and the not-an-attorney statement Maryland requires.
- Maryland application checklist. From ordering the handbook to the circuit court oath and first appointment.
- Maryland startup budget. The $30 handbook, $25 application and $11 clerk fee ($66 together) filled in, with blanks for the course, stamp, bound journal and RON vendor.
- Maryland journal pages. Columns for each entry Title 18 and COMAR require, including the ID number and in-person or remote.
