Become a Notary in One Day

Cal State East Bay’s intensive seminar is designed to equip you with everything you need to know to become an effective notary. During the course, you’ll gain hands-on and practical experience with notarizations, including journal entries and identifying signers. You’ll also meet the educational requirement mandated by California law and take a practice Notary Public Exam to solidify your expertise. After completing the course, you’ll have the opportunity to sit for the official notary exam while the material is still fresh in your mind.

I really felt the course prepared me well for the Notary test, which I passed. The cost was very reasonable and the Saturday schedule made it easy for me to attend.

Renew Your Notary Commission

Are you already a notary but need to renew your notary commission? State law requires notaries to retake the exam every four years. Review all laws and regulations you are required to know to continue as a notary during Cal State East Bay’s 3-hour state required seminar. This one-stop course also allows you to sit for the exam immediately following the class so you can get on with your business without delay.

Before enrolling, be sure to check out the eligibility requirements and details for each course below.


Become a Notary in One Day or Renew Your Notary Commission

The Notary Public Exam will be held immediately after each training session. Since exam seating is limited, seats will be assigned to those registered first. The cost of the exam is $40.00, paid via check made out to “Secretary of State."

If you are renewing your notary commission, you’ll need to take the exam and be fingerprinted again. A 6-hour approved course must be taken first and there can be no lapse in your commission. Otherwise, you are required to take the 6-hour course again.


Become a Certified Loan Signing Agent

You don’t need to be a commissioned notary or to have received the results of your exam in order to take this course, but you will need to have completed a Notary class.
