Mississippi Secretary of State
Become a notary in Mississippi
Notaries in Mississippi are commissioned by the Mississippi Secretary of State. Apply there first. StampSide is a public page after you have used their process. Look up a commission with Notary Public Search. There is a separate E-Notary Search on the same SOS notaries area.
Where to register
Applications go to the Mississippi Secretary of State. Open their page for the current application, not a StampSide form.

How to get started
The official page we read does not publish a full public process. Use their link above.
Use the Mississippi SOS notaries page
The regulation-enforcement notaries page returned 403 to our fetch. Confirm the current application on sos.ms.gov.
Register on StampSide
After you use the Mississippi Secretary of State site, create a public page: photo, where you work, and how clients reach you. You can appear in the Mississippi directory. The page stays unpublished until a commission is on file.
Tools after you apply
The official page we read does not name stamp or bond vendors. After you hold a commission, use named suppliers — Notary Rotary, Notary.net, or the National Notary Association — for a Mississippi-specific seal.

There is a separate E-Notary Search.
Register, then getting started
StampSide does not commission you — the Mississippi Secretary of State does, on the official site above. Register here for a public page. After you sign up, getting started walks through a photo, your commission when you have it, and an email signature for cards and mail. The page stays unpublished until a commission is on file.
After you are commissioned
Appear in the Mississippi directory. Closers and the public still confirm standing on the official site.
