Indiana's guide says applicants must satisfy the eligibility rules, obtain a $25,000 surety bond, and submit the application electronically through INBiz before they may begin notarizing.
The guide states that Indiana notaries receive eight-year commissions, but they also have a continuing-education and exam requirement every two years during the commission period.
Indiana treats remote notarization as a separate authorization. The official guide lists a $100 remote authorization filing fee and requires use of an approved remote technology vendor.
The guide states that the notary must be physically located in Indiana during the remote act, must use the identity-proofing methods allowed by Indiana law, and must record the remote notarization and maintain the required journal entries.
