Notarization Information
How do I become a notary?To become a notary. First contact your local state Notary Public division. The contact info for Notary Public divisions has the contact information for all fifty states' Notary Public divisions. They will give you a booklet about state Notary Public law and information about applying for your commission.
Purchasing a Notary Public law primer from 123notary.com can help you prepare for your state's Notary Public test (if your state has one). For notaries in California, 123notary.com sells a book entitled, Preparing for the CA notary public exam. We sell both of these books in our bookstore. Just click on the books & supplies link to the left.
We also recommend taking a seminar (especially in CA) in addition to purchasing both of these two books. Unless you are willing to take the chance of perhaps failing your test the first attempt, a seminar is recommended. 123notary.com does not have any contact information about seminars at this point. The Notary Public law primer is good to read before the seminar, and to keep it as a reference for as long as you are a Notary Public.
