• Notary Registration Form

    Training includes going over the notary handbook, taking the notary test, completing your notary application and going through real examples of documents. Once training is completed you will still have to submit your complete application to the Secretary of State which is an additional $25 and wait for your background check to clear. Once your background check clears you have to obtain notary insurance and notary bond, and get sworn in by the Jackson County Clerk's Office before you are a fully active Notary. Please bring your laptop if you choose to complete your application in class. If not I will have paper applications as well. Please fill in the form below.
  • Qualifications:

     

    To qualify for a notary commission as a Missouri resident, an applicant
    must meet certain legal qualifications:

    Be at least 18 years of age;

    Be a registered voter of the county within and for which the applicant is to be commissioned, or a resident alien of the United States;

    Apply for the county in which they legally reside and be commissioned for this same county;

    Be able to read and write the English language; and
    Must not have had a commission revoked during the past ten years.

    Step 1.     Read the Missouri Notary Public Handbook.

    Step 2.     Take the online training course or written training course.

    Step 3.     Apply (online or by mail) for a commission ($25)

    Step 4.     Purchase a notary public surety bond.

    Step 5.     Qualify at your local county clerk's office.
                                      

     As either a resident or non-resident applicant, the applicant must also indicate on their application whether or not they have ever been convicted of or pled guilty or nolo contendere to any felony, or to any misdemeanor

    incompatible with the duties of a notary public, and if so, shall attach a list of such convictions or pleas of guilt or nolo contendere.

    Any person is eligible to apply for a commission as a notary public if they are a permanent resident alien under Section 245 of the Immigration and Nationality Act. If the applicant qualifies under Section 245, they must send a copy of their “green card” with a completed application to our office.

    If the notary is presently commissioned as a non-resident notary public and they move into Missouri, the notary may immediately be appointed and commissioned as a notary upon becoming a resident. The notary will need to return their nonresident notary certificate with a request to cancel that commission, along with a completed reapplication as a resident and the $25 fee for issuing another commission.
