West Virginia Notary Starter Kit: $52 ERLS Application, Five-Year Term, Rubber Stamp Specs, $10 Fees and Out-of-State Signers
A West Virginia stamp carries your address as well as your name, and remote signers outside the state need a separate Out-of-State Commissioner appointment. This kit covers article 39-4 from the ERLS application to remote ink signings.

- ERLS application and commission letter. Eligibility including the diploma rule, the $52 fee, the sworn application, the commission letter and the certificate.
- $10 caps, 3-year ID rule and stamp specs. 39-4-30 fees, 39-4-7 identification, journal recording, and the rubber stamp's size and wording.
- Remote online, remote ink and the 39-4-23 notice. Notice to the Secretary, 5-year recordings, the commissioner appointment for outside signers, and ad rules.
- Letter-to-first-act checklist. Application, commission letter check, stamp order and certificate.
