"Looked for best notary classes near me and they are really awesome. Great service and great class for a great deal the other companies are charging high and not even doing as much work as they do and they are great and genuine about it and really want to see you pass and win at being a notary"
Lisa Nuzzo
"Took their California approved notary class in the classroom, and they were awesome. Class was filled with a lot of students who were just starting like me and wanting to learn something new. They have loan signing training after the class and offer a lot of advice and information that you can’t get from someone with no notary experience."

If becoming a notary for first time or not renewing on time, you must take a six hour training. If renewing as a notary, you are required to take a three hour training. However, if desired, it is also satisfactory to take six hour training.
Unfortunately, the secretary of state specifies your commission term is 4 years. If you are not renewing on time you must complete a six hour training.
Commissions are valid for four years from the start of your commencement date. You have four years to operate, then your commission expiration occurs.
