Mississippi Notary Starter Kit: $25 Application, $5,000 Bond, $5 Fee Caps, County Seal and Mandatory Journal
Mississippi caps most notary fees at $5 and puts your county on your seal, so a move means a new stamp. Bound journals stay on your shelf for a decade. Each rule here is cited to its Rule number.

Who it is for
Mississippians applying after 30 days of residency, newly commissioned notaries ordering a seal and journal, and Mississippi notaries checking where remote work stands.
Not the right fit if
You aren't applying in Mississippi: get your own state's kit.
Why it is different
- Lists the six seal lines in the exact order Rule 3.1 requires.
- Explains what to do with your seal when you move counties or change your name.
- States plainly that the posted law has no standing remote procedure.
What is inside
- $25 application, bond within 60 days and oath. 25-34-41 qualifications, Form NP 002, the Section 268 oath, the Governor's approval and renewal timing.
- $5 caps, voter ID, journal and seal order. Rule 9.1 fees, the accepted IDs including Mississippi voter ID, Rule 4 journal rules and the Rule 3.1 seal layout.
- Where remote stands and the posted disclaimer. Personal appearance under 25-34-15, the 2020 waiver, electronic notarization, and the 10-point disclaimer rule.
- Bond-to-first-signing checklist. Application, 60-day bond, oath, seal, journal and disclaimer sign.
- Mississippi startup costs. The $25 fee filled in, with blanks for bond premium, seal, journal and sign.
- Bound journal practice pages. Columns for location, city and state, and an n/c fee marker.
