Thank you for checking out this article about becoming a New York State Notary Public
and the licensing procedure. The licensing process can be easy and fast or cumbersome
and slow to success, depending on the route you choose from the very beginning!

I have taught the Notary exam preparation classes for 17 years and have witnessed new
statutes and an increasingly difficult exam evolve from what once was easy like when I took
it back in the early 1980’s. The people I get calls from (and I have had 27,000+ students)
are often told by some old notary like me to just get a law book and self-study because that
is what we did in the 1980’s. Just tell them to pass my free online NY Notary practice exam
and pass it or you can not trust their antiquated and self-serving advice.

OK, now that the oldie failed it please tell them to look at the newest N.Y. Notary Public License Law
which has a 400% increase of new statutes to study since they passed. Maybe they should do
one of our online N.Y. Notary Licensing refresher Courses or sit in our 5-hour live N.Y. Notary Public Licensing Classes so they do not get in trouble breaking the statutes due to their own ignorance.
it is not their fault. The problem stems from the fact that in N.Y. there is no requirement for
continuing education or re-qualifying when they renew. Problem is there are 4X the statutes!

Exam Statistics in 2018
Currently from the statistics we have been able to gather there is an approximately 60%+
failure rate on the 1 hour, 40 question statutes exam. People who take our exam prep classes
only repeat at less than 1%. Our students report finishing in 10 – 20 minutes on average. Go check
out our unsolicited testimonials!
