Browse the storeWho it is for
Virginians and out-of-state workers applying to the Secretary of the Commonwealth, new Virginia notaries picking up their commission, and notaries adding an electronic commission.
Not the right fit if
You aren't applying in Virginia, or you work in Virginia but won't notarize in connection with that job, which is the basis for a nonresident commission.
Why it is different
- Based on the Secretary of the Commonwealth's handbook revised July 1, 2026.
- Shows the registration number and expiration date your seal and certificates must carry.
- Covers both traditional and electronic commissions in one kit.
What is inside
- Application and the 60-day court deadline. Who qualifies in Virginia, the $45 application, the circuit court oath and the birth-month term.
- $10 and $25 caps, ID list, journal and seal. Code of Virginia 47.1-19 fee caps, accepted IDs, the 5-year journal and the seal with registration number.
- Electronic commission and notario penalties. How to get a Virginia electronic commission, remote identity rules, and the civil penalties for misleading titles.
- Apply, claim, swear in, start. Application, court pickup, seal, journal and first appointment.
- Virginia costs worksheet. The $45 application and $10 circuit court clerk fee, $55 in all, filled in, with the electronic commission costs and blanks for seal and journal quotes.
- Five-year record pages. Printable pages with the six entries Virginia requires for each act.
