FIRST TIME NOTARY PUBLIC APPLICANTS
All first time notary applicants must take a three (3) hour state approved Notary Public Education course within six (6) months of submitting an application for a Notary Public Commission.A certificate evidencing completion of the course must accompany the application for appointment.
RENEWING YOUR NOTARY PUBLIC COMMISSION
Notaries appointed subsequent to July 1, 2003 renewing their commission must take the same three (3) hour course within six (6) months of the renewal date of their commission and submit their applications for renewal at least two (2) months before their commission renewal date. A certificate evidencing completion of the course must accompany the application for reappointment.
For Notaries Appointed Prior to July 1, 2003:
Any applicant for reappointment who was appointed on July 1, 2003 or before and whose notary commission was in effect as of July 1, 2003 is permanently exempted from the notary education requirement. Those who are not exempt include the following:• Those who received a letter of reappointment but failed for 45 days after the beginning of their terms to obtain a bond and have their bond, commission and oath recorded;
• Those who resigned their commissions and did not seek reappointment;
• Those who permitted their commissions to expire and did not seek reappointment;
• Those whose commissions were revoked as the result of a disciplinary action taken by the Department.
The new Notary Public law contains many changes that notaries should be aware of and every notary public is obligated to be familiar with the responsibilities and duties that attend to the office. The Bureau of Commissions and Elections of the Pennsylvania Department of State encourages all notaries to attend a notary training course whether required to or not.
