What is the difference between the 6 hour and the 3 hour class?
Close Window [X]
If you are re-commissioning, you may choose to take a 3 hr refresher course instead of the full 6 hr course but you must take the course and pass the exam before your current commission expires.
How do I register for the 3hr course instead of the 6hr course?
Close Window [X]
When you select the date and location you would like to attend, go through the checkout process and you will be given an opportunity to switch to the 3 hr course at no charge.
What do I do once I pass?
Close Window [X]
You should receive notification of passing the exam in your email in about 3 weeks but it takes another 2 to 3 weeks to receive your notary commission by mail. The Live Scan you completed on the day of the class is still being processed
but for now, there are no additional steps to take for your commission processing.
If this is your first commission, PLEASE consider taking our 3-hour Notary Practical Application Workshop during this time.
In just 3 hours, the instructor will watch and direct you as you perform actual notary services including filling out Jurats, Acknowledgments and Journal Records. You will learn how to
correct an improperly placed seal, how to recognize notarial certificates that you cannot fill out and you will actually practice giving oaths to others for Jurats and Credible Witnesses. You will be notarizing Deeds of Trusts, Grant Deeds, Power of Attorney documents and a lot more.
Once your commission arrives by mail, step-by-step instructions will be provided to you, but that is when you need to obtain your
bond and file your oath and bond. For now...just relax.
What is the 100% Pass the Notary Exam Guarantee?
Close Window [X]
No hassles .... no problems... you will pass the notary exam and we guarantee it! If you attend our 6-hour notary seminar and do not pass the exam, retake the seminar and exam up to two additional times with us at no charge. The SOS will charge $20 to take the exam, but if after these attempts within 150 days of taking the initial seminar and same-day notary exam you do not pass the exam, we will refund the amount paid for your seminar as well as any notary supplies purchased from us during that time. We are proud to say that NO PERSON - in the almost 20 years of the history of our business has ever needed to take advantage of this! That is a terrific statement for the quality of our classes.
When can I apply the $50 discount for the Loan Signing class?
Close Window [X]
Loan signers are notaries who specialize in notarizing loan documents. Most mobile notaries become loan signers because of the lucrative potential within that part of the notary business. Loan signers are called upon to travel to homes or offices and obtain the signatures for lending documents. Becoming Certified is essential if a notary wishes to be successful in marketing his or her services as a loan signer. Our Loan Signing Class includes the Certification exam and Certificate. The Loan Signing Exam is given on-line at your convenience in your own home or office. Our class fee includes two separate attempts at passing the Certification exam. Our Live Notary Seminar Attendees qualify for a $50 discount for registering for that class if registration is done on or before the day of the notary class. Please ask your instructor for details on the day of the class.
