New Hampshire Notary · Put your knowledge to work in context.

The New Hampshire Notary Public commission is a public appointment made by the Governor, with the advice and consent of the Executive Council, under RSA 455-A. It is for New Hampshire residents at least 18 years old, and - effective August 4, 2019 - also for residents of Maine, Massachusetts, or Vermont who are registered notaries in their home state and regularly employed or carry on a trade, business, or practice in New Hampshire. Commissioned notaries may acknowledge legal documents, administer oaths and affirmations, take verifications and depositions, perform copy certifications, notarize signatures, and note protests of negotiable legal documents. This study page prepares you for the knowledge needed across the appointment lifecycle: eligibility and the application, the criminal record check and endorsement requirements, the oath of office and commission, notarial powers and duties, seal and rubber stamp contents, the fee schedule and its limits, and renewal and record-change administration. The New Hampshire Notary case studies are 5 cases and about 2,504 words.
