CORPORATE APPLICATION
In order to qualify for a Delaware State eNotary commission, you must be a Delaware
resident or maintain an office or a regular place of employment within the State.
A non-resident may qualify for a Delaware eNotary commission under certain circumstances.

In establishing a corporate account with the Secretary of State, every company will
be required to provide a physical Delaware address to receive service of process,
subpoenas and other documents. This must be a legitimate street address, not a post-office
box or mail drop. If your company is not located in Delaware you can retain a commercial
service provider, called a registered agent, to provide the required residency requirement.
For a listing of companies providing commercial registered agent services, visit:

If your principal place of business is within the State of Delaware you do not need
to establish a corporate account to apply for a notary commission. However, any
organization that anticipates a high volume of notary activity may establish a pre-funded
depository account with the Secretary of State to manage this activity. If you wish
to establish a depository account to consolidate your firm’s accounts payable across
numerous notaries, select the "In-State Depository Account" when presented with
this option.
If you represent a Delaware-based service organization (Fire, Ambulance/Rescue,
Veterans’ group.) or fall within the Limited Governmental category (Police, State
Government employee) you will select the correct description from the pull-down
menu when presented with this option.
There is no fee for a corporate application. Individual Notary application fees will apply. To proceed, please select from the following choices:
