Vermont Notary Law: What Signers Should Know
Vermont has a distinctive notary framework with a 2-year universal expiration cycle, no fee cap, a jurisprudence exam for new applicants, and RON via Special Commission Endorsement. Here's what to know.
Personal Appearance Required (In-Person)
For traditional in-person notarizations, the signer must physically appear before the notary. RON allows remote appearance via approved audio-video technology for notaries holding a Special Commission Endorsement.
No Statutory Fee Cap
Vermont has no statutory maximum notary fee. Notaries set their own rates — most charge $5 to $25 per notarial act. Travel fees are also set by the notary. Always confirm fees before your appointment.
No Bond Required
Vermont does not require a surety bond for notary commissions. E&O insurance is recommended for professional protection.
Jurisprudence Exam for New Applicants
Vermont requires new notary applicants to pass an open-book jurisprudence exam covering Vermont notary laws as part of the online application. Renewing notaries must complete a 1-hour approved continuing education course each 2-year cycle (attorneys and judges are exempt).
Commission Term: 2 Years — Universal Expiration
Vermont notary commissions are valid for 2 years and all expire on January 31 of odd-numbered years (e.g., January 31, 2025; January 31, 2027) — regardless of when the commission was issued. This universal expiration cycle is unique among U.S. states.
Office of Professional Regulation
Vermont notaries are commissioned by the Secretary of State's Office of Professional Regulation (OPR). The $30 application fee covers initial applications and renewals. The additional RON Special Commission Endorsement costs $30.
RON via Special Commission Endorsement
Vermont RON requires a Special Commission Endorsement from OPR, specific identity proofing technology, and 10-year retention of audio-video recordings of every remote session. The notary must be physically in Vermont during the session.
Acceptable ID
Driver's license, state ID, U.S. passport, military ID, or other satisfactory evidence of identity. Vermont notaries must verify identity before every notarial act.
