How to Become an Illinois Notary or Renew Your Notary Commission
When compared to other states, becoming an Illinois notary is actually pretty easy. Any Illinois resident 18 years or older with no felony convictions is eligible to apply to become a new notary. Some of the other qualifications for becoming an Illinois notary include the following:
2. Have Lived or Worked for 30 Days or More in the State of Illinois
3. Be a Citizen or a Permanent Resident of the United States
4. Not Have Had a Notary Public Appointment Revoked or Suspended in the Last 10 Years
5. Be Able to Read, Write, & Understand the English Language
6. Have No Felony Convictions.
If you meet the above qualifications, you are
ready to apply to become a notary. Just purchase a four-year, $5,000 Illinois
notary bond, complete the required application, and mail the completed and
notarized notary application, the notary bond, a copy of your driver’s license,
and the required appointment fee to the Illinois Secretary of State. And
finally, go and pick up your Illinois notary public commission certificate from
your county clerk’s office.
Already a notary and simply looking to renew your notary commission? Well, the process is precisely the same! Just follow the same steps listed above up to 60 days before your commission expiration date.
