| Notes on how the row was compiled | The fetched page lists a Notary Academy (pre-approved third-party course providers), a Notary Exam (revised March 2025) and a Technology Based Notarization page, but does not say whether the course or exam is mandatory and gives no term, bond, fee, age or residency figure, so all are null. Only archived editions of MCA 1-5-405 (older law, $10,000 bond) were seen on a legislature host; they are not used because they are outdated. |
