Maine Revised Statutes

1. Official signature.  When performing a notarization, a notary public must sign by producing that notary public’s official signature by hand in the same form as indicated on the notary public’s commission. For the purposes of this section, the notary public’s official signature is the signature that appears on the notary public’s most recent oath of office or most recent application for a notary public commission.

2. Change of signature.  If the official signature of a notary public changes during the term of the notary public's commission, the notary public shall immediately provide the Secretary of State with a new sample of the notary public’s official signature.
