Notary Resources by State
Many paralegals also hold a notary public commission, and commissions, renewals, and rules vary by state. The links below go straight to each state’s official notary page, where you will find how to become a notary, how to renew a commission, the notary handbook, and notary lookup tools. Where the state publishes official information about remote online notarization, that link is included too.
