Maine Notary Starter Kit: Exam on the Application, $50 Fee, Dedimus Justice Oath, 7-Year Term and Remote Approval
Maine prints its exam on the application form, then gives you 30 days to be sworn by a Dedimus Justice and 45 days to return the certificate. Your commission then lasts seven years. The kit covers every step and the remote approval form.

Browse the storeWho it is for
Mainers and Maine employees applying on the paper form, new notaries looking for a Dedimus Justice, and Maine notaries filing the notice to work with an approved remote provider.
Not the right fit if
You aren't applying in Maine, or you want marriage authority, which since July 1, 2023 takes a separate Marriage Officiant license.
Why it is different
- Explains the Dedimus Justice office, which most guides skip.
- Notes the July 2023 split between notaries and marriage officiants.
- Built from the 2023 application form, the Course of Study and the Chapter 700 rules.
What is inside
- Course of Study, exam and Dedimus Justice. 4 M.R.S. 1922 qualifications, the 15-question exam, the $50 fee, and the 30-day and 45-day deadlines.
- Written fee consent, family conflicts and stamps. Why Maine has no fee schedule, the relatives you may not serve, and when a journal and stamp are optional.
- Approved remote providers and section 1926. The notice to perform remote acts, the no-Zoom rule, 10-year recordings, the election and marriage exclusions, and the required ad statement.
- Appointment-to-qualification checklist. Study, application, oath and certificate, with Maine's two clocks.
- Maine commission budget. The $50 fee for seven years filled in, with blanks for a stamp and journal (optional on paper) and a remote provider.
- Journal worksheet. Columns for 4 M.R.S. 1920 entries, with a paper, electronic or remote column.
