Montana Law Primer: A Pocket Guide To State Notarial Laws

To help you stay up to date on Montana’s new law, Senate Bill 299, the NNA has published its first-ever Notary law primer for the state.

SB 299, signed by Governor Brian Schweitzer on April 18, establishes both a recordkeeping and mandatory education requirement for Montana Notaries. From now on the state’s Notaries must keep an official journal for all notarial acts. The new law also requires use of an inking seal alone as the official seal, among other things.

NNA law primers are user-friendly and make it easy to find all the important information every Notary needs to know.

Montana’s recordkeeping requirement took effect on October 1. Education and residency requirements are effective July 1, 2010.
