New Mexico Notary Starter Kit: Education Course, $10,000 Bond, $30 Filing, 45-Day Stamp Registration and RON
Under New Mexico's 2023 rules every notary passes an education exam, files a notarized bond and oath, and registers the stamp within 45 days or faces the State Ethics Commission. Every act goes in a journal.

Who it is for
New Mexico residents and workers applying for a first commission, attorneys and clerks who serve as automatic notarial officers, and New Mexico notaries adding remote online notarization.
Not the right fit if
You aren't applying in New Mexico: get your own state's kit. It doesn't replace the required course and exam.
Why it is different
- Covers automatic notarial officers such as attorneys and clerks, not just commissioned notaries.
- Built on the 2023 amendments and the Handbook revised July 2023.
- Flags the 45-day stamp registration deadline and what happens if you miss it.
What is inside
- Education exam, notarized bond and oath. Who qualifies, the NNA course and exam, the $10,000 bond, the oath and the $30 enterprise filing.
- $5 caps, stamp with state seal and the journal. 14-14A-28 fees, conflicts, the stamp layout, 45-day registration and journal entries.
- RON amendment and the 14-14A-24 notice. The $75 filing, separate course, 10-year recordings, and the required advertising statement.
- Exam-to-stamp-registration checklist. Course, bond, oath, application and stamp registration, with the 45-day deadline.
- New Mexico startup costs. The $30 and $30 fees filled in, with blanks for bond and stamp, and the $75 RON fee.
- Journal pages with a RON column. Columns from the Secretary of State's Journal Requirements page.
