Washington Notary Starter Kit: Requirements, Fees, ID Rules, Remote Notarization and Startup Checklist
In Washington your license lasts only as long as your surety bond, and every act goes in a bound journal you keep for 10 years. This kit walks through both, plus the $15 cap and the electronic and remote endorsements.

Browse the storeWho it is for
Washington residents and people who work in Washington applying to the Department of Licensing, and Washington notaries adding the electronic records and remote endorsements.
Not the right fit if
You aren't applying in Washington, or you plan to notarize in Oregon or Idaho, where a Washington license doesn't reach.
Why it is different
- Fee caps and stamp sizes come straight from chapter 308-30 WAC, cited under each table.
- Explains the bond-linked expiration date that trips up renewing Washington notaries.
- Includes the exact not-an-attorney disclaimer from RCW 42.45.230.
What is inside
- SAW application and the 4-year bond. Who qualifies in Washington, the $10,000 bond, the notarized oath, the $40 fee and why the bond sets your expiration date.
- $15 fee cap, 3-year ID rule and bound journal. WAC fee caps, IDs expired up to 3 years, the bound journal entries and the stamp size minimums.
- Electronic and remote endorsements and the disclaimer. The $15 electronic endorsement, remote approval, knowledge-based quiz rules and the disclaimer every ad must carry.
- Washington license checklist. From bond and oath to SecureAccess Washington, stamp and first appointment.
- Washington startup budget. The $40 application and $15 endorsement filled in, with blanks for the bond, stamp, bound journal and remote software.
- Washington journal pages. Columns matching chapter 308-30 WAC, with room for signatures or a remote notation.

Common questions
What do I get and how is it delivered?
The WA Notary Starter Kit comes as a zip with six documents, each as an editable Word file and a printable PDF: Becoming a Notary, Fees, ID, Journal and Seal, Remote Notarization and Advertising, Startup Checklist, Fee and Supplies Budget, and Journal Pages. The download link arrives by email after payment.
Will it open on a Mac, Google Sheets or my phone?
The PDFs open in any PDF reader, including on a phone. To edit, open the Word files in Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice on a Mac or PC. If a file will not open or something looks wrong, reply to your order email and we will make it right. If it is not right for you, email us within 14 days of buying for a full refund.
Is this legal or tax advice?
General information from official Washington sources, not legal advice.
Why might my Washington notary license last less than four years?
Because it ends when your surety bond ends. Buy a four-year $10,000 bond to get the full four-year license; an E&O policy doesn't count as the bond.
