Customer demand for notaries has hit an all-time high. Notaries are constantly needed by leading industries, such as banking, finance, healthcare, real estate, government, insurance and more. The overwhelming majority of the 4.4 million Notaries in America became Notaries as part of their job duties or as a value-added skill on their resume, which gives them a competitive edge. Others choose to become a Notary so they can have their own mobile Notary or Notary Signing Agent business.

Learn the requirements to become a California Notary Public:
Choose from two affordable options:
Looking to renew your California notary commission instead?We offer a 3-Hour refresher course if you are renewing your commission and it hasn’t expired yet.
* Important Note: If you are renewing and your commission is nearing expiration, it’s best to take the six hour training course. We’ve had many students take the three hour course with the intention of completing the process in time only to find that the state’s exam wasn’t offered soon enough. It’s only offered once per month in many counties and once every six months in some counties.
If you sign up for the three hour class and end up needing to take the six hour class because you ran out of time, we’ll move you to the six hour course free of additional charges, provided you’re in your paid access time. However, you’ll lose all of your progress and have to start from the beginning because of the additional content and the state’s requirement for time tracking.
The state also recommends taking the notary public exam at least six months prior to the expiration date of a current notary public commission so that there isn’t a break in between notary public terms. If all application requirements are met the state will issue the new commission 30 days prior to the expiration date of the current commission.
Because of these reasons we highly recommend taking the 6 hour course if your commission expires in fewer than six months.
