Members

INM is the only professional organization for notaries public in the state of Maine. The information provided is Maine specific, unlike the information received from national associations, which is more general to cover all fifty states.

Members experience a great feeling of belonging and a sense of "not being out there alone" by sharing their experiences either at gatherings, through the newsletter or through the INM sponsored chat group. When you are in a difficult situation, it helps to know others have experienced the same thing. It also gives you someone to turn to for answers when you encounter a new situation and are unsure how to proceed.

Members who are also Dedimus Justices
A Dedimus Justice has only one duty and that is to administer the oath of office to persons elected or appointed to a civil office. The governor appoints a Dedimus Justice for a lifetime term.

INM maintains a Dedimus Justice list to help make it easier for its members when they renew their commission or need to be sworn into office for the first time. All Notaries Public must take the oath of office before a Dedimus Justice before they can perform their duties as a Notary Public. Click here to view.

Members who enjoy performing wedding ceremonies
One of the duties of a Notary Public commissioned in the State of Maine is to perform civil wedding ceremonies. A Notary Public may not refuse to perform a wedding without a legitimate reason. When that happens the couple intending to marry should be referred to another Notary. To help make this easier INM maintains a list of its members who like to perform wedding ceremonies.
