You would think after being a notary for four years the State of California would make renewing your license a little easier. Well, I am hear to report that unfortunately it has gotten even more complicated.
In order to renew your license as of January 1, 2008 you will need to do four things:
- Complete a state approved 6-hour training course
- Pass the 30 question notary exam
- Submit a new application along with a 2x2 passport picture
- Lastly, you must get re-fingerprinted so that the Secretary of State and the Department of Justice have your fingerprints on file
If you are renewing your license you do not want to wait until the last minute to do so, it is recommended that you give yourself 4-6 months before your license expiration. The whole process was nerve racking but I did find a few things that made my life a little easier.
First, I completed my 6-hour training online through Golden State Notary. Second, I was able to print my own passport photo thanks to ePassportPhoto.com. I just uploaded a digital picture of myself and the website did the rest. Thirdly, I started early so as not to risk my license expiring.
If your California notary commission is expiring this year start the renewal process as soon as possible to avoid the headaches.
