Miss. Code Ann. Section 25-34-15

A Mississippi notary public is commissioned by the Secretary of State for a four-year term after paying a $25 application fee, taking the constitutional oath of office, and filing a $5,000 surety bond. Notaries may charge a maximum of $5.00 per notarial act and must keep a contemporaneous journal of every act. Mississippi requires physical presence for notarization (no standalone remote online notarization), though notaries may register separately to perform in-person electronic notarizations. There is no mandatory state exam, but mastering Section 25-34 and the Secretary of State's rules is essential.

C.The Lieutenant Governor
D.The clerk of the circuit court
Explanation: Under the Revised Mississippi Law on Notarial Acts (Miss. Code Ann. Section 25-34-3(g) and Section 25-34-41), a 'notary public' is an individual commissioned to perform notarial acts by the Secretary of State. The Secretary of State qualifies, commissions, and disciplines all Mississippi notaries.
2What is the term length of a Mississippi notary public commission?
A.Two years
B.Five years
C.Four years
D.Ten years

4What is the minimum age to apply for a Mississippi notary public commission?
A.16 years
B.18 years

5How long must an applicant have been a Mississippi resident immediately before applying for a notary commission?

B.Six months
C.Not less than 30 days
D.One year
Explanation: Miss. Code Ann. Section 25-34-41(2)(c) requires an applicant to be a resident of Mississippi for not less than thirty (30) days immediately preceding the date of the application. A notary who later stops residing in the state is deemed to have resigned.

B.Yes, a 70% on a state exam is required
C.Yes, an oral exam before the chancery clerk
D.Yes, but only for electronic notaries
Explanation: Mississippi does not mandate a statewide written notary examination. The Revised Mississippi Law on Notarial Acts (Section 25-34-41) and the Secretary of State's rules require an application, qualifications, an oath of office, and a $5,000 bond, but no passing exam score. Studying notary law remains essential regardless.
7Which of the following is NOT a notarial act a Mississippi notarial officer is authorized to perform under Section 25-34-7?
A.Take an acknowledgment
B.Administer an oath or affirmation
C.Witness or attest a signature
D.Issue a marriage license
Explanation: Miss. Code Ann. Section 25-34-7 lists authorized notarial acts: taking acknowledgments, administering oaths and affirmations, taking verifications on oath or affirmation, certifying depositions, witnessing or attesting signatures, and noting protests. Issuing marriage licenses is a function of the circuit clerk, not a notarial act.
8Under the Revised Mississippi Law on Notarial Acts, what is a 'verification on oath or affirmation' formerly known as?
A.An acknowledgment
B.A jurat
C.A protest
D.A certification of copy
Explanation: Miss. Code Ann. Section 25-34-3(n) defines 'verification on oath or affirmation,' formerly known as a jurat, as a declaration made by an individual on oath or affirmation before a notarial officer that a statement in a record is true. The signer must sign in the notary's presence and swear to the truth of the contents.
9A signer brings a document already signed and tells the notary, 'Yes, that is my signature and I signed it willingly.' Which notarial act is this?
A.A verification on oath or affirmation (jurat)
B.A protest of a negotiable instrument
C.An oath of office
D.An acknowledgment
Explanation: An acknowledgment, under Section 25-34-3(a), is a declaration that the individual signed a record for the purpose stated and, if applicable, with proper authority. The signer need not sign in the notary's presence; the document may be signed before the acknowledgment, and the signer acknowledges the signature as their voluntary act (Rule 6.1).
10For a jurat (verification on oath or affirmation) in Mississippi, when must the signer sign the document?
A.In the notary's presence
B.Before meeting the notary, then bring it in
C.Either before or after, it does not matter
D.After leaving the notary, then mail it back
Explanation: Under Rule 6.3, a document containing a statement being verified on oath or affirmation must be signed in the notary public's presence and may not be signed afterward. The notary also administers the oath, requiring the signer to swear under penalty of perjury that the statements are true.
