The main responsibility of a notary is to formally witness transactions involving paper documents and, in Maine, to perform marriage ceremonies. Study the office's history as well as its responsibilities, qualifications and record-keeping requirements. You must live in ME or be a NH resident regularly employed or with a business/trade in Maine. Leave with the test completed and a plan in place for turning in your paperwork. A notary license is $50 and valid for seven years.
