This is the slide deck for the full, in-person class approved by the Secretary of State for 4 hours of required training for new and renewing notaries. You must attend the class to obtain the credits; downloading the slides for review does not consititute attendance.

In June we discussed the vocabulary of the notary profession. We differentiated between the statutory terms, terms of art, and colloquial terms that notaries have to deal with.

The September Lunch With Lori & Kristi webinar covered the changes from HB165, impacting the notarization of motoer vehicle titles, and introduced Montana’s mobile IDs.

The future of the notary profession won't be defined by the stamp in our hand. It will be defined by the trust we earn through our competence, our integrity, and our commitment to protecting the transactions entrusted to us.

In October, we took the scary out of performing online notarizations on paper documents with ink signatures in the second Lunch With Lori & Kristi session.
