Become a Notary Public in One Day (Renewing)

Need to renew your notary commission? A three-hour refresher course is required. You must also be livescanned and pass the official Notary exam again. We'll feature the new state laws passed and give you a brush-up on general law to make sure you haven't fallen into any bad habits. Your commission must be current to be eligible for a renewing seminar. A $35 material fee for the Notary Public Sourcebook is payable to Notary Public Seminars at the workshop. *Please refer to the exam requirements below.
