Official sources
Notary commissioning is governed by each state's Secretary of State (or equivalent notary authority). Our state guides cite those official sources directly for eligibility, bond amounts, fees, and RON authorization, and note the date each was verified. Always confirm current requirements with your state authority before you apply.
