Notary Filing Requirements Chart.If I work in a parish other than my residence parish, can I still notarize in that parish?There are groups of reciprocal parishes created by the legislature. The reciprocal agreement allows a validly appointed notary in a parish authorization to exercise any and all functions of a notary in the reciprocal parishes without additional bonding or examination.

If the parishes are not reciprocal you may obtain a Dual Commission.
No test is required, but you must maintain bonds in both parishes.
