Maine Revised Statutes

The Secretary of State shall recommend that every notary public keep and maintain records of all notarial acts performed. The notary shall safeguard and retain exclusive custody of these records. The notary may not surrender the records to another notary or to an employer. The records may be inspected in the notary's presence by any individual whose identity is personally known to the notary or is proven on the basis of satisfactory evidence and who specifies the notarial act to be examined. [1993, c. 485, §1 (AMD).]
