Mandatory Notary Public Education: [Posted May 26, 2006]
On July 1, 2006 all first-time applicants for an Oregon Notary Public commission, and any former notaries without a current commission at the time of application, must take a 3-hour course on Oregon notary laws, rules and procedures. The Secretary of State Corporation Division offers classes and online tutorial, or you may choose to use a certified education provider.

Notaries with active Commissions when reapplying, must continue to submit a completed application and test along with the $20 processing fee.

If you have any questions about this new law or the Oregon Notary Public Education Course, please email online.education@state.or.us.
