How do I complete the Notary Public Oath of Office?

Follow the form instructions: bring satisfactory identification, swear or affirm the oath, and sign and date it before a commissioned notary. The notary completes the certificate and required seal and stamp fields.

Do I need to sign the oath in front of a notary?

Yes. The form instructs applicants to sign and date the oath in a commissioned notary’s presence, and its certificate records that it was sworn or affirmed before the notary.

Can I use an online notary for this oath?

The form instructs applicants to appear in person before a commissioned notary. The U.S. Virgin Islands has no identified remote-online-notarization statute for its own notaries, and acceptance of an outside online notarization is not confirmed; confirm with the receiving agency or the Recorder of Deeds if unsure.

What should the notary complete on the form?

The instructions ask the notary to enter the date, island, signature, printed name, commission number, and commission expiration date, and to affix the embossed seal and blue rectangular ink stamp.
