Become A Notary in N.Y.

Why should I get a Notary Public License?  How Will it help me and my employer?
If you are asking yourself these questions it is likely because either somebody you
work with or for asked you to become the office notary public and you are now
researching what to do next.
Before you get the details, you should be aware that this will do three (3) Great
things for your personally and they are very good as follows:
1) It will give you a WINNER RESUME fast.
2) It will give you INSTANT RESPECT with your co-workers, employer and your
friends and family.
3) It will give you JOB-SECURITY whether you are currently employed or not.
OK, now you know why you are doing this and you are ready to see the qualifications list that you
need to get licensed.  Keep in Mind that once you get this license you will never need to requalify
if you renew it on time every 4 years ($60 renewal fee much like a driver’s license renewal process).
You are required to take a walk-in state exam at an exam testing location near you.  The exam schedule
includes the major cities on a weekly basis. Remember it is only a one-time exam so just do-it.  You
have 1 hour to answer 40 multiple-choice questions and the fee to enter is $15.00 at the door.

Exam Passing Statistics:
From the statistics I have gathered there is a 60% or greater failure rate on the exam unless
you take an examination preparation 5-hour class where the need to retake the exam drops
to less than 1%.  You can choose to self-study the N.Y.S. Notary Public Licensing Law and walk in
to the exam when you feel confident.  You might see the law and the above cited statistics and
decide it is a better plan for you to take the approved N.Y.S. Notary Public Licensing classes.
Either way, we wish you the very best luck in your self-improvement mission!
