Delaware Notary Journal Requirements

Delaware journal rules at a glance

• Required for every commissioned notary (§ 4332). Use one format only — paper or electronic.
• Paper journals must be a permanent, bound book with numbered pages. Electronic journals must be tamper-evident.
• Entries made at the time of the act: date and time, description of the record and type of act, full name and address of each signer, how identity was proven, and any fee charged.
• Keep the journal for 10 years after the last act recorded in it (or transmit it to the Notary Administrator if you don't renew).

From the official Delaware notary sources, checked October 20, 2026: notary.delaware.gov (1), notary.delaware.gov (2), notary.delaware.gov (3), notary.delaware.gov (4). Lines marked "Not confirmed" need checking with the state. General information, not legal advice.
