ATTENTION: Effective January 1, 2025, licensed attorneys, judges, and their employees are exempt from the mandatory online notary training course when
renewing a notary commission. To qualify, applicants must submit a signed statement confirming their role and acknowledgment of the Illinois Notary Public Act using the
state exemption form. This exemption streamlines the notary application process while ensuring compliance with state requirements.
*This exemption only applies to renewals. All new notary commissions are still required to take the notary public course. Click here for new notary packages that include our online notary course.
