How to become a Notary
Public
Effective June 15, 2006 pursuant to Act 423, the notary
exam will be given twice a year, on the first Saturday in June and December.
This process is handled by the Parish Application Committee which is
appointed by the 22nd Judicial Court. The Parish Application Committee will
authorize qualified applicants to sit for the state notary examination.
Application by petition must be made to the 22nd Judicial District Court,
together with the required supporting documentation set forth in LA RS
35:191. A form for the petition to be appointed a Notary Public is available
in the Clerk's Civil Department or in the Judicial Administrator's office
located on the 3rd floor of the St. Tammany Parish Justice Center, 701 N.
Columbia St., Covington, LA 70433. After you have taken the test, the
Commission will notify you as to whether or not you passed.
If you pass, you will
then have to submit the following to the Clerk of
Court:
| - Bond in the sum of ten thousand dollars
($10,000.00), approved and recorded by the Clerk of Court; and
|
- Oath filed with the Clerk of Court.
|
| Submit to the Secretary of State's
office:
|
| - the approved and recorded bond;
|
| - the recorded oath; and
|
- the Judge's certificate or letter of certification
and the official signature.
|
If you need additional
information about the notary test, contact Janet Talley with the Judicial
Administrator's office at (985) 809-5302.
