I passed! I passed the Notary Exam! Now I just need the backgr (1 Viewer)

I actually hear that the notary exam is really difficult. They let us skip that part if we pass the bar exam in Louisiana.

 
Yeah, I didn't think this was a big deal. My wife is a notary and has never once mentioned a test.
I actually know a couple of people who have failed the exam here. I think it's tougher in some states than others.
I had some idiot at work tell me once that he needed to take a document to a Notary of the Republic. Presumably, you can bypass the state notaries and go directly to the federal ones.

 
I know a guy who once did everything to become a notary, but failed to take the oath on time (in Missouri you have to go to the county courthouse and do this in person). He didn't tell his employer and proceeded to notarize things for them.

I told him I thought this was a felony, but he figured the odds of getting caught are nil.

His argument was who wants to fake being a notary? The maximum fee allowed is like $3. Nobody checks that stuff out.

In NC there is a test but it is really simple and lawyers don't have to take it if they are in good standing with the Bar. In SC you must be a registered voter, pay 25.00, and you are a notary.

I just got recommissioned this past January in NC, and I had to pay a $50 application fee, and take the test again. You have to do this every 5 years. To become a notary for the first time you have to take a course, pay the application fee, and take the test. The Secretary of State also does a background check. I've never thought the test is simple. The information is so boring that it's hard to retain, and they try to trick you with the way they word some of the questions.

 
Does a notary do anything besides verifying that someone signed something?
There are three states where a notary can marry someone. In my state a notary mainly verifies and acknowledges signatures, and administers oaths and affirmations.

We just had someone become a notary for the company and I was going by her take on the test.

I think it's terrible that in 2014, notaries can only legally marry in three states.
When you think about it, that is terrible discrimination, based only on a person's backgr. Will the bigotry never cease?

 
I don't even remember what I needed to do to become a notary, but i am certain it was not brain busting. My bank offers this service as a freebie, so I don't even get to charge for my awesome crimping services. At least the bank paid for my renewal, so I have that going for me.

Which is nice. :lama:

George O'Leary :unsure: Seems like a silly risk if it is indeed a felony. So ironic.

 
I didn't realize there was a difficult test to pass but I always :lmao: when people want to order the seal and are disappointed they don't have to submit official paperwork. It has to be the easiest thing to fake ever.

The worst part was the background check when you submit the first application. It ask if you have ever been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor, and if so you have to submit with your application a certified copy of a criminal record background check from the Clerk of Courts Office, and it has to be from the Clerk of Courts Office where the violation occured, but you also have to do the same thing with the Clerk of Courts Office in the county you live in at the time, even if you were never arrested there. You also have to sign a written explanation of what happened, the date and place of arrest, name of the court & court case #, the code section violation, and the sentence given. I was arrested of a misdemeanor in 1984 while at ECU, and it was a PIA having to get all of that done.

Yeah that's a pain. I think she had a couple minor infractions as a juvenile but that stuff is expunged now.

Don't do the crime if you can't do the mildly inconvenient paperwork 30 years later. :mellow:

Most use a self inking stamp these days. Costs about $20 and NOBODY checks to verify that the information is legit.

Many states still require a seal.

I wonder what the French benefits are in that position.
