Dear Californian:
Welcome to the official source of laws relating to notaries public in California. A notary public
is a public official who performs invaluable services for the legal, business, financial, and real
estate communities. There are more than 184,000 notaries public in our state.
While there are no significant statutory changes for 2011, this Notary Public Handbook is designed
to supplement your course of study, which will prepare you for the notary public examination.
All statutory references are to California Codes, unless otherwise indicated. Once you are
commissioned, the Secretary of State strongly recommends that you keep your Notary Public
Handbook as a ready reference to help you perform your duties.
A notary public who holds a current California notary public commission and who has completed
an approved six-hour course at least one time is required to satisfactorily complete an approved
three-hour refresher course prior to reappointment as a notary public. Please note that pursuant
to California Government Code section 8201(b)(2), the three-hour refresher course can only be
used to satisfy the education requirement if the notary public is applying for a new commission
before the current commission has expired. If the notary public’s commission has expired, the
notary public must satisfactorily complete a six-hour notary public education course before being
appointed for another term.
A copy of the Notary Public Handbook, information regarding the qualifications and procedures
you must follow to become a notary public, and Certificate of Acknowledgment and Jurat forms
are all available on the Secretary of State’s website at www.sos.ca.gov/business/notary/.
On behalf of the people of California, thank you for your interest in serving our state as a notary
public.
Sincerely,
Notary Public & Special Filings Section
