West Virginia Notary Journal Requirements

Here is what West Virginia asks of a notary's journal or record book, and the Uptown Seal Press West Virginia Notary Journal built around it.

West Virginia journal rules at a glance

West Virginia does not require a journal.
The Secretary of State strongly advises keeping one.
Suggested entries: date, type of act, type of document, name and address of each signer, signer's signature, notes, and fees.

From the official West Virginia notary sources, checked October 20, 2026: sos.wv.gov (1), sos.wv.gov (2), sos.wv.gov (3), code.wvlegislature.gov. Lines marked "Not confirmed" need checking with the state. General information, not legal advice.
