Upon receipt of a signed copy of your completed Notary Application, notaries.com will proof read the application and then issue you a copy of your Notary Bond. The bond is valid for 60 days so do not delay in completing the balance of the application process with the state, as described below.
You must file your $10,000 notary bond with your county clerk and take the Oath of Office there at the county office. The county will charge a $10 filing fee that is nonrefundable and may increase depending on your county.
When your application is approved, you will receive your blue wallet card in the mail from the Office of the Great Seal within 3-4 weeks. When you receive your wallet card please SCAN and EMAIL a copy to us at [email protected] We will then manufacture your custom self-inking notary stamp made to state specifications, which you pre-paid for when you purchased your notary bond. You will receive your Notary Stamp in approximately 10 days after we receive a copy of your notary card. Once you receive your card and supplies, you are able to start notarizing.
