Notary Renewal by State is an independent educational website. We build free, fast calculators and plain-language reference pages about renewing a notary public commission in the United States: the first day each state accepts a renewal application, renewal courses and exams, fingerprints, the surety bond, the oath and its filing deadline, the state fee, seals and journals, and what happens when a commission lapses.
What we do
- Renewal dates you can count on. For each state we show the first day it accepts a renewal application, what must be redone (course, exam, fingerprints, bond, oath) and the deadlines that follow, counted from your own expiration date.
- Official sources, linked. Every rule names the state notary office page or the statute it comes from, with the date we read it.
- Not a government website and not legal advice. We are a private company and nothing is filed for you. See our legal disclaimer.
- No selling. We do not sell products, we do not link to sellers, and we do not accept payment for reviews or placements.
Who we are
Notary Renewal by State is run by a small independent editorial team based in Türkiye. We are a private company and are not affiliated with any Secretary of State, Department of State, notary commissioning office, county clerk, contractor licensing board, surety company, insurer or notary course provider.
