The test is done in-person with the Secretary of State. Its $40, but you’ll pay that to the Secretary of State, not to us, on the day of the exam. After you sign up for your class, we’ll help you schdule and prepare for your exam.

We have a 97.5% Pass Rate. And if you don’t pass the Official Notary Test, you’ll get a full refund on your class.

This part is simple. We’ll give you a form help you fill it out. Then you turn it on on test day.
