On August 10, 2021, The Senate Bill 134 was signed and enacted to allow remote notarization services in New Hampshire. The law took effect from February 6, 2022. This paved the way for the new phenomenon of digital notarization, reducing the need for paper and physical presence.

Each document must have an original New Hampshire Notary Public or Justice of the Peace signature witnessing the signature of the author of the document. If signed by a notary, the notary's seal must be included in order to be certified by this office.

In addition to acknowledgments, a New Hampshire justice of the peace can do all the same acts as a regular New Hampshire notary public such as Oaths, Affirmations, Jurats, Depositions, Copy certifications, and Protests.

A notary public who has a direct or indirect financial (or other beneficial) interest in a document may not notarize such a document. The better practice is not to notarize for a spouse or family member in order to preserve the integrity of the notarization and to prevent a challenge to the notarization.
