Please note you WILL continue to have access to the online class even after you submit your documentation and receive your proof of completion. You have unlimited access for as long as you need it; even after you become a commissioned Notary Public.

Important: If you make your request too late and we are unable to issue your proof of completion before your exam date, please note that the Secretary of State will still allow you to take your exam. You will simply have to mail your proof of completion to their office.

Can I go in and out of the class?

What happens if I don't pass the State exam?

The best way to ensure that you pass the State exam is to take the exam while the information is still fresh in your mind. We encourage students to register for the exam as soon as they register for the course. The test dates fill up very quickly. Often times, students complete the course and can't test for a month or two because the test locations are full. Visit the website for the test schedule. Go to: http://www.cps.ca.gov/TakeATest/Notary/ and click on "test schedule" on the left-hand side of the page. This will give you a list of exam dates and you can register for the exam now to ensure that you will have a space once you complete the course.
