1. Education or examination requirements.
To become a notary public in Texas, you need not take an exam or meet an educational requirement. However, some states like Florida and California have such requirements as part of the appointment process. In this case, it is necessary that you review and be familiar with relevant laws. You may also seek the services of qualified notary education vendors, such as the Texas State Notary Bureau.
2. Complete required hours for training
Training is needed before taking the examination in Colorado as well as in California. For the former, they allow you to opt for the free course offered by the state over the state-recognized training program. For the latter, a six-hour training must be completed online or on a home-based study.
3. Practice for the big day
More than reviewing, you must also make sure that you can finish the exam within the given time. To do this, you can take quizzes or mock exams that you can find over different internet resources. If you are the old-school type, a friend or a relative can help you by using flashcards or by asking you a series of questions related to the exam.
4. Have all the needed documents for the application ready
Before you apply, you should make sure that you have everything ready. States have different requirements so you must be aware of those. For example, an aspiring notary public for the state of Texas would have to submit a completed Form 2301, proof of $10,000.00 surety bond, and the required state appointment fees. States requiring exams or training may have additional requirements.
5. Make sure that there are no errors in the information you provide.
As this is an important government transaction, make sure you complete the necessary forms correctly to avoid delays in processing and possible rejection.
