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 who were commissioned after July 1, 2003 and who are renewing their commission must take a three (3) hour course each renewal period. The course must be taken within six (6) months before the expiration of their commission, and their application for renewal must be filed at least two (2) months before the expiration of their commission. A certificate evidencing completion of the course must accompany the application for appointment.
Notaries who were commissioned on or before July 1, 2003 are exempt from the notary education requirement.
Those individuals who are not exempt from the education requirement are:
• 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.
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.
