How It Works

Complete the application form on our website

Our application wizard will guide you step-by-step to properly complete the application online and order notary bonds and supplies.

Optional - E-sign the application

Once you complete the application process, we will download your signed notary application and file it with the state. This eliminates the need to mail, fax, or email us your notary application.

Purchase notary supplies and a four-year, $10,000 notary bond

The state requires each notary to pay a $21.00 state filing fee and to be bonded for $10,000. The cost of the four-year notary bond is only $50. At a minimum, a Texas notary must have a notary stamp and record to perform their notarial duties.

Mail, fax, or email us your Texas notary application

The state requires a copy of your signed notary application to be filed electronically for you to be commissioned as a Texas notary. We will promptly file your application with the state and get you approved in seven to ten working days.
