In order to become a notary public, you will need to obtain a certification and/or license from your state's notary office or department. State requirements vary, but typically include passing an exam, paying a fee and providing proof of your identity and address. In some states, you may also be required to complete an application or attend a class or seminar. Additionally, some states may have age, citizenship or other requirements that must be met before you can be certified or licensed as a notary public.
