Welcome to Delaware's new Notary Public website!

Notary applications and renewals will now be submitted online. As part of this online process, an email address will be required since all correspondence, including commission certificates and renewal notices will be sent electronically by email. During the application process, each notary applicant will establish a notary profile which will be used to track the status of applications, and update information and renew commissions in the future. Existing notaries will receive a letter with instructions to provide an email address and create a profile.

What does this mean for you?

If you are a new notary applicant, this web site will provide information and instructions to submit your application online. Please click the "Continue" link at the bottom of this page to get started. Once your application is submitted, you will receive further instructions and information by email throughout the process.

If you are an existing notary, you will receive a letter from our office which outlines instructions to provide an email address and create your notary profile at the following link: https://notaryforms.delaware.gov/Existing.aspx. If you do not receive a letter by October 18, 2010, please contact us by phone at 302-739-4111 or by email at notary@delaware.gov.
