What to know when applying to become a West Virginia Notary Pubic

  • Confirm your eligibility. You must be at least 18 years old; a U.S. citizen or permanent legal resident; a West Virginia resident or have a place of employment or practice in the state; able to read and write English; have a high school diploma or equivalent; not be disqualified from a commission under §39-4-21; and not have been convicted of a felony or a crime involving fraud, dishonesty, or deceit, or had a Notary commission suspended or revoked in another state.
  • Use an official seal. West Virginia Notaries must use a rubber stamp ink seal for all paper notarizations.
  • Maintain a journal (recommended). While not required, the state strongly recommends keeping a permanently bound journal of notarial acts.
  • Submit your application. Complete the application online. State or local government employees must also include a letter from their supervisor requesting the appointment.
  • Allow time for processing. The West Virginia Secretary of State (not the NNA) is the commissioning authority. Processing typically takes 2–3 weeks.
