How To Become a Notary: Forms, Criteria, & Notarial Certificates
Joining Superior Notary Services means joining a tradition of excellence. We partner with notaries who share our passion for professionalism, integrity, and making every client experience outstanding.
Ready to be part of our professional network? While there are many requirements for becoming a notary — including some that differ by state — we’ve outlined the general steps below. Here’s how to become a notary public:
Step 1: Meet the Eligibility Requirements
You must meet a few basic qualifications before applying to become a notary. These include being at least 18 years old, a legal resident of the state with no criminal record, and the ability to read and write in English.
If you meet the above, you can visit your state’s website or local office to apply. You must also:
- Hold a current notary commission in your state (you may be required to attend classes and pass a written exam).
- Maintain Errors and Omissions (E&O) Insurance.
- Obtain Remote Online Notarization (RON) authorization if applicable.
- Undergo a background check.
- Maintain a professional and confidential work ethic.
- Keep a flexible schedule to accommodate mobile or after-hours appointments.
Step 2: Complete Your Onboarding
Once you meet the basic qualifications, joining our network is quick and easy. Our team will walk you through the onboarding process so that you feel prepared and confident accepting mobile or remote assignments. After you’ve submitted your information and completed all required documentation, here’s what notary applicants can expect from our onboarding process:
Access the Customer Portal
Upon approval, notaries receive access to a customer portal where they can request and manage assignments. This portal allows notaries to receive signing orders, upload completed documents, and communicate directly with clients.
Receive Assignments
Notaries are notified of new assignments through the online portal. Assignments may include mobile notarizations, where the notary travels to the client’s location. They may also involve remote online notarizations, depending on the notary’s capabilities and certifications.
Complete Assignments and Get Paid
After completing their assignments, notaries will submit any necessary documentation through the portal. We process payments fast, ensuring that notaries get paid quickly and efficiently for their hard work!
Our onboarding process is built to be easy and supportive, helping you get up and running with the Superior Notary Services network in no time.
Step 3: Get Equipped With Our Resources
We provide guidance on industry best practices, tips for remote notarizations, and access to real-world opportunities to grow your notary business. Here’s a quick preview from our library:

Step 4: Submit the Right Forms
You’ll need to submit your notary forms, proof of certification, insurance documents, and any required notarial certificates during the online application process. These include:
- Copy of your notary commission certificate
- Proof of Errors & Omissions Insurance
- Identification verification form
Additional Steps:
Depending on your state of residence, you may also need to obtain a notary bond — a type of insurance that protects the public by guaranteeing financial compensation if a notary makes a mistake or engages in misconduct during a notarization.
Next, you’ll take a notary oath, which may happen in a courtroom, at a county clerk’s office, or even online, depending on your state’s requirements.
The final step is to purchase a stamp or notary seal, which is the official mark notaries use to certify documents. This seal protects all parties involved from fraud and proves the notary is properly witnessed and authenticated.
