Notary License | Become a Notary Public
Notary License
How Much money do I need to become a Notary Public? Can I become a Notary Public if I have a conviction? Can I notarize my spouse’s documents? If you are applying for a notary public license must submit proof of identity to the Department of State. You may need a $500 - $10,000 bond, this value would be made payable to the state, you would be conditioned to faithfully perform the duties of notary public to obtain a Notary License. Remember that a notary license holder has a fixed term in office as a Notary Public, the length of the term depends on which State or the type of License, the term is usually four years.
A Notary Public License may be renewed every four years by making an application in the same way as required for the original Notary License. If you are currently commissioned as a notary public, you shall not submit a new application. A notary license can be canceled by submitting in writing to the Secretary of State. Usually, any person convicted of a felony cannot be re-appointed or appointed as a notary public license holder. If you were convicted within the 4 year term a court in which the notary public license is held must notify the Secretary of State within ten days after the conviction. A notary public license holder can not use “notario publico” or any other non-english term on their business cards or any other form of advertisement. The notary license holder should give a copy of any record of a notarial act to anyone who requests it.
The most important duty of a notary license holder is attesting to signatures on documents. A Notary License holder can also administer oaths in depositions or similar situations. The notary license signature and seal are evidence that their signature is a genuine notary license and that the person is a licensed notary public. A notary public, once appointed, has authority on a statewide basis.
Authentication of a Notary Public’s signature is required when foreign jurisdictions are involved. A notary public can verify a person’s identity, usually with a motor car driver’s license, then the notary license holder presses their notary public seal on the document and signs it. There is no prohibition against a notary license holder notarizing another spouse’s signature.
A notary public prevents fraud and forgery by acting as an official, unbiased witness to the identity of the person who signs a document.

Winston Churchill is often quoted as describing the USA and the UK as being ‘two nations divided by a common language’. While I hope that this division is now less pronounced than it was in the 1940’s, I often find that US citizens approaching UK Notaries Public are surprised to find not only that the cost of Notarial work in the UK is substantially higher than in the USA, but also the procedures to be far more complex than they expected.
I hope that this brief guide to UK Notary procedures will clarify some of the reasons for this common misconception.
Legal qualifications required to practice as a UK Notary
Most notaries public in the UK also practice as a solicitor or barrister. It is possible, although quite rare to be a qualified notary without being a lawyer first but it does require passing strict legal qualifications.
Length of commission
A UK notary is qualified for an indefinite period (subject to the issuing of an annual practicing certificate by the Faculty Office). Consequently the concept of a commission expiring does not apply to UK notaries.
Verification requirements
A UK notary is required to identify the individual via two forms of identification (both of which must comply with money laundering regulations) and then is required to determine matters such as authority to sign (for example in the case of a company if this is a director or individual that has been authorized via a board resolution).
Further, a UK Notary Public must determine the knowledge and understanding of the individual signing the document. This is particularly important for foreign documentation which may be in alternative languages. Finally a notary is required to ensure that the document is executed in a manner which meets the legal requirements for the document involved (e.g power of attorney being signed in the presence of a witness.)
Notarization process
UK Notaries have a steel bespoke stamp which is usually embossed on to the page of the notarization
In addition most notaries will rivet and usually tie with ribbon the document which they notarize to ensure that the notarized document is complete with no pages being able to be moved in or out of the document after notarization.
Legal status of UK Notaries
UK Notaries are deemed to be Public Officials. Therefore documents which have been notarized by a UK Notary Public can then be legalised either through the Foreign and Commonwealth office by adding an apostille or alternatively via various UK embassies recording and acknowledging the public function carried out by a notary.
Typical fees charged by UK Notaries
UK notaries are required by the Notary rules to charge a reasonable fee which is appropriate for the services undertaken. As a consequence most UK notaries will charge a fee per document of somewhere between £60-£120.
Legal protection and Insurance
UK Notaries Public are bound by a duty of care and are therefore required to carry a minimum level of £750,000 of professional indemnity cover. In reality most UK notaries will carry several million pounds worth of professional insurance.
