Washington Notary Starter Kit: Requirements, Fees, ID Rules, Remote Notarization and Startup Checklist
In Washington your license lasts only as long as your surety bond, and every act goes in a bound journal you keep for 10 years. This kit walks through both, plus the $15 cap and the electronic and remote endorsements.

Who it is for
Washington residents and people who work in Washington applying to the Department of Licensing, and Washington notaries adding the electronic records and remote endorsements.
Why it is different
- Fee caps and stamp sizes come straight from chapter 308-30 WAC, cited under each table.
- Explains the bond-linked expiration date that trips up renewing Washington notaries.
- Includes the exact not-an-attorney disclaimer from RCW 42.45.230.
What is inside
- SAW application and the 4-year bond. Who qualifies in Washington, the $10,000 bond, the notarized oath, the $40 fee and why the bond sets your expiration date.
- $15 fee cap, 3-year ID rule and bound journal. WAC fee caps, IDs expired up to 3 years, the bound journal entries and the stamp size minimums.
- Electronic and remote endorsements and the disclaimer. The $15 electronic endorsement, remote approval, knowledge-based quiz rules and the disclaimer every ad must carry.
- Washington license checklist. From bond and oath to SecureAccess Washington, stamp and first appointment.
- Washington startup budget. The $40 application and $15 endorsement filled in, with blanks for bond, stamp, journal and software.
- Washington journal pages. Columns matching chapter 308-30 WAC, with room for signatures or a remote notation.
