Who it is for

Newly commissioned New Jersey notaries and mobile or signing-agent notaries who want a consistent routine and clean records.

Not the right fit if

You aren't commissioned in New Jersey: get your own state's kit. Not a substitute for the state's Notary Public Manual.

Why it is different

- Built around the State of New Jersey's Notary Public Manual, with the source named on each sheet.
- Keeps the capped state fee and your own service fees on separate lines, so a quote is easy to explain.
- Plain Word files you can edit and PDFs you can print today.

What is inside

- **Notary journal pages.** Ruled pages with a column for each item the NJ Notary Public Manual says to record, including an itemized fee.
- **Pre-appointment checklist.** What to confirm with the client before you drive anywhere.
- **Signing-day checklist.** Step by step from arrival to stamp, with the refusal points.
- **Client intake form.** Signers, documents, location, timing and fees agreed up front.
- **Acceptable ID cheat sheet.** The forms of identification in the state manual, with the three-year expiry rule.
- **Fee and travel-fee sheet.** A one-page sheet that keeps the capped notarial fee separate from your own service and travel fees.
- **Client email templates.** Booking confirmation, ID reminder, running late, and a polite decline.
- **"Not an attorney" notice.** New Jersey's required advertising notice in English and Spanish, with words to avoid and a printable sign.
- **Invoice template.** Keeps capped notarial fees on their own lines, separate from travel and service fees.
- **Mileage log.** One row per business trip with odometer, purpose and tolls, for tax time.
