How to renew your license: Notaries public
Currently notary applications take around 60-90 days to process. We will notify you when we issue your license. We recently upgraded to an online system. Our staff have a higher volume of work as a result. We expect this longer processing time to continue for the next several months. Thank you for your continued patience. We apologize for the inconvenience.
