Following the implementation of the Revised Uniform Law on Notarial Acts (RULONA) on October 26, 2017:
Beginning October 26, 2017, all notaries – new and reappointed – must complete a three-hour notary public education course approved by the Department. The course must be completed within the six-month period immediately preceding application. Basic education courses are designed for individuals who have never been a notary public or notaries who have let their commissions expire. Continuing education courses are designed for renewing notaries who hold current and active commissions.
The list of RULONA-compliant basic and continuing education courses is below. The Department will update the list as it approves new courses.
Listings indicate whether the course is delivered via classroom instruction and/or online.
Many notary education providers offer additional services to notaries, such as bonds, errors and omissions insurance, and notary equipment (including stamps and journals). Please note that the Department of State does not regulate these services.
