Avoid a Lapse in Your Commission!
If your commission expiration date is prior to March 31, 2011, begin your renewal by registering for your state-required training and exam now. Any delay risks a lapse in your Notary commission.
California Secretary of State Recommends:
"To avoid a break in Notary Public commission terms, you should take the Notary Public exam at least six months prior to the expiration date of your current Notary Public commission"
