How to Become a Notary Public

Today I took a 6-hour course to become a Notary Public. I plan to do this out of our tax preparation office when we get up and running. It is a huge responsibility but I think it will be a good fit. The whole process was a little more involved than I thought it would be but I think I did okay on the State exam at the end. It will be a week or so before I know if I pass or not. Then there's the background check, getting my official notary equipment, getting bonded and taking an Oath. It could take 6-8 weeks. Plenty of time to memorize the Notary Public Handbook. I guess now I know what I'm going to be when I grow up.
