Browse the storeWho it is for
North Carolinians signing up for the 6-hour notary course, newly commissioned notaries heading to the register of deeds, and North Carolina notaries looking at electronic registration.
Not the right fit if
You aren't applying in North Carolina, or you need the Secretary-approved manual and 6-hour course, which you buy and take separately.
Why it is different
- Every fee is cited to its General Statute, including the $10 register of deeds oath fee.
- Separates traditional, electronic and remote electronic rules so you know which applies.
- Prints the statutory not-an-attorney notice word for word.
What is inside
- Course, exam and the 45-day oath. G.S. 10B-5 qualifications, the 6-hour course, the 80% exam, the $50 application and the register of deeds oath.
- Per-signature fees, ID, journal and seal. The G.S. 10B-31 fee caps per principal signature, satisfactory evidence, when a journal is required, and seal size rules.
- eNotary, remote status and the required notice. Electronic notary registration, Part 4A remote rules and their current status, and the exact not-an-attorney notice.
- Course-to-oath checklist. From course enrollment to the oath and your first appointment.
- NC fees and supply costs. The $50 nonrefundable application and the $10 register of deeds oath, $60 together, filled in, with blanks for the course, the required manual and the seal.
- Record pages for NC acts. Printable pages for your own records, with a column for paper, electronic or remote acts.
