Mobile Notary
Q.

Am I qualified to become a notary in my state?

A.

In all states, you must be at least 18 years old, a legal resident of the state you wish to become a notary in, and to have not committed a felony.

Q.

Do I need a seal and stamp?

A.

Most states require notaries to have a stamp; those that don't recommend it.

Q.

How do I renew my notary commission?

A.

States do not have automatic renewal processes. Therefore, in order to renew your commission, you must reapply through a state approved bonding agency.

Q.

When should I start the renewal process?

A.

Q.

Do I need to take any classes to become a state notary?

Q.

Do I need to buy a notary surety bond?

A.

Yes, a notary must provide a surety bond to the state. The amount of the bond limit varies per state.

Q.

Do I need errors & omissions insurance?

A.

No, no State requires notaries to purchase errors & omissions insurances. However, most states recommend it as it serves to protect the notary, unlike the notary surety bond, which protects the public. Notary errors and omission (E&O) is a critical component of any notary's portfolio. E&O insurance protects you, the notary, against any potentially devastating financial costs of lawsuit that could result for an error you make as a notary. It is a misconception that your notary bond protects you when it in fact, protects only your customers. If your bonding company has to make payment on a claim against you, under the principles of surety, you are required to reimburse the bonding company for the claim plus legal expenses. With E&O insurance, you'll never have to worry since it provides primary protection and pays your claim first—before your bond.

Q.

If my business pays for my notary and I leave my place of employment, am I still a notary?

A.

Yes. The notary is personal to the individual no matter who paid for the notary commission.

Q.

Can my business keep my notary stamp if I leave employment for any reason?

Q.

Who can serve papers?

A.

In MS, any US citizen that is not a party to the case, over the age of 18, and residing in the state where the matter is to be tried can serve papers. Originally, process service was performed by sheriffs or deputies, and agents of the court. This became a burden on law enforcement, so the legislation was changed.
