Everything below is transcribed from this office's own published sources and printed in its words. A value we could not confirm against an official page is marked "(unverified)" — but the absence of that marker is not a guarantee that a fact was checked, and the source's own doubts stay inside the notes reproduced here verbatim. Confirm fees, addresses and deadlines with the office before you send documents or money.

## Checking status and verifying an apostille

- No public verification register is published for this office. That is not the same as an apostille being unverifiable — ask the office how it confirms one.

## Remote online notarization

- Remote online notarization is permitted here.
- **Legal basis:** Revised Uniform Law on Notarial Acts, NMSA 1978 ch. 14, art. 14A (RON at NMSA 14-14A-5); enacted by SB 12 (2021), RON effective January 1, 2022
- **In force since:** 2022-01-01
- **Registration:** Required. Notify the Secretary of State before the first remote notarial act (NMSA 14-14A-5.G); file an amendment to the notary commission via the SOS online portal with course certificate and $75 non-refundable fee (NMAC 12.9.4.8.A); register the electronic stamp within 45 days of approval (unverified detail — per NNA)
- **How the signer is identified:** Personal knowledge (NMSA 14-14A-6.A); or credential analysis of a government-issued ID using automated software with security-feature validation (NMAC 12.9.4.11.A) plus dynamic KBA — minimum 5 questions from public/private data sources, 80% correct, 2-minute limit (NMAC 12.9.4.11.B); credible witness permitted and may appear remotely via communication technology (NMAC 12.9.4.11.C). Biometric: not specified
- **Standard notarial act cap:** $5.00 USD
- No maximum fee is recorded here for a remote act. A missing cap is not the same as "no cap" — the reason is in the notes below.
- **From the source:** Max RON fee: base act fee plus technology fee "not to exceed $25.00 for each remote notarial act" (NMAC 12.9.3.11) — no single all-in cap published, so maxRonFeeCents is omitted. Max standard fee: $5.00 per act (acknowledgments, oaths/affirmations, jurats); copy certification $0.50 per page, $5.00 minimum (NMSA 14-14A-28). (2025 SB 230, which would have raised these to $12.00 / $60.00 tech fee, died — "Action Postponed Indefinitely.") Travel fees permitted by rule (NMAC). In-person electronic notarization fees follow NMSA 14-14A-28
