From Maine's Notary Public Manual:

<<The Notary Public may not surrender the records to another Notary Public
or to an employer. The records may be inspected in the presence of the
Notary Public by any individual whose identity is personally known to the
Notary Public (or is proven on the basis of satisfactory evidence) and who
specifies the notarial act to be examined. When the Notary Public is removed
or resigns from office, the records may be sent to the Notary Public
Section. The Notary Public Section will forward the records to the State
Archivist. >>

Best,

Nina
