✍️ Sample ME NOTARY Questions & Answers
1. Under what circumstances is a Maine Notary Public required by law to maintain a journal of notarial acts?
Effective July 1, 2023, with the adoption of the Revised Uniform Law on Notarial Acts (RULONA), a notarial officer MUST maintain a journal for all electronic and remote notarizations. While a journal is not legally required for in-person paper notarizations, it is strongly recommended by the Secretary of State.
2. Which type of notarial act is typically used for affidavits in Maine?
Affidavits are sworn statements and therefore require a jurat, which includes an oath or affirmation administered by the notary.
3. According to Maine law, which of the following is an acceptable method for a Notary Public to verify a signer's identity?
Maine law allows a Notary Public to identify a signer by viewing a current, government-issued identification credential with a photograph, such as a driver's license, passport, or military ID. The other methods are not legally sufficient for proper identification.
4. During a jurat, what must a Maine notary do before the signer puts pen to paper?
For a jurat, the notary must verify the signer's identity and administer the oath or affirmation before the signer signs the document.
5. A Maine Notary's commission term for a Maine resident is valid for how many years?
A Notary Public commission for a resident of Maine is valid for a term of seven years. For residents of New Hampshire who are employed in Maine, the term is four years.
6. What does 'subscribed and sworn' on a Maine jurat certificate indicate?
'Subscribed and sworn' means the signer signed (subscribed) the document and took an oath (sworn) before the notary, both occurring during the jurat.
