Why You Should Renew Your Notary
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.
As an independent contractor, you can earn a full or part-time income by handling mortgage signings, notarizing trust documents and performing many other vital tasks.

Our 6-hour Notary Course is for first-time notaries and returning notaries whose commission has expired. Our 3-Hour Renewal Notary Course is for returning notaries who have not had a lapse in their commission.
To be eligible for an approved 3-Hour renewal course, notaries public must have previously completed an approved 6-Hour notary public education course and have a current, active commission as well as have taken the notary public exam and submitted the application at the exam site prior to the expiration date of their current commission.
A 6-hour approved notary public education course satisfies the requirement for a 3-hour refresher course and always satisfies the education requirement, regardless if you are a new applicant or applying for reappointment.
We accept Mastercard, Visa, Discover and American Express.
Yes. Please contact us for details and rates.
Upon satisfactory completion of this approved notary public course, you will receive a Proof of Completion certificate. The Proof of Completion certificate is valid for a period of two years from the date of issuance. However, a person seeking reappointment must apply and take the notary public examination before expiration of their Proof of Completion certificate and before expiration of their notary public commission.
To avoid a break in notary public commission terms, you should take the notary public exam at least six months before your current notary public commission expires. Test results are valid for one year from the date of the examination (California Code of Regulations, Title 2, Section 20803)
The notary public’s commission is not renewable. If the you wish to be reappointed, then prior to the expiration of your 4-year commission, you need to complete a 3-hour refresher course and complete the entire application process once again, including Live Scan fingerprints. Because this process takes time, start the reappointment process about six months out from the expiration date of your current commission.
The Proof of Completion certificate for our 6-hour notary education course is valid for two years from the date of issuance. If the certificate expires before a person seeking appointment can pass the notary public examination, that person will have to satisfactorily complete another 6-hour course.
A Proof of Completion certificate for a 3-hour refresher course is also valid for two years from the date of issuance. However, a person seeking reappointment must apply and take the notary public examination before the certificate or their notary public commission expires.
Your commission for reappointment will be issued 30 days before the expiration date of your current commission.
Yes. All new and renewing notaries are required to have their fingerprints taken via Live Scan and to pass a California Department of Justice and FBI background check for each commission term, regardless of having fingerprints taken in the past.

Choose this course if you are renewing your commission and it hasn’t expired yet. Are you a first time California notary or has your commission expired? If so, we also offer a 6-Hour course.
* 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.
