Renewal of your Notary Public Commission

Our office automatically sends notice to you within the last 6-8 weeks of your commission expiration date.  If your address has changed in the last 7 years and you did not update it with our office, your notice of renewal may not reach you.  In order to renew, please send our office a letter asking that your commission be renewed and include:

- Your name and date of birth;

- Current mailing, physical (if different) and legal residence addresses;

- Current contact telephone numbers - home, cell and/or work (these will be posted on our online notary search);

- An email address;

- Any language that you are fluent in other than English; and

- A check made payable to the Secretary of State in the amount of $50.00

Special Note: If your commission expired more than 90 days ago, you cannot simply renew your commission at this time. In order to create a new commission, you must start over and complete a new application. Here is the link to the current application in a fillable Adobe Acrobat format – Maine Resident – Notary Public Commission Application.

Once our office receives the request, your new commission paper work will be mailed to you.  If you have any questions, please contact our office at 207.624.7752 or by email at CEC.Notaries@Maine.gov.  Our mailing address is:
