Notary Exam Prep 2026

New: a timed mock exam drawn from national law and your own state, 20 written study guides, flashcards, and a free scored sample every day.

Notary Prep gets you commissioned, then keeps working after you are.

STUDY YOUR STATE, NOT SOMEBODY ELSE'S

Notary law is state law. Choose your state once and the app follows it: your own question bank, your own fee schedule, and a mock exam drawn from national principles and your state's rules in the proportion the real exam tests them.

Every state and the District of Columbia has its own bank — at least 47 questions each — alongside 320 national questions covering the ground every notary is expected to know.

A TIMED MOCK EXAM, WITH REAL ANSWER REVIEW

50 questions in 50 minutes. Answer options shuffle on every attempt, so retaking tests what you know rather than which position you remember. The clock runs on real time, so leaving the app doesn't pause it.

Afterwards you review every question you missed: the answer you chose, the correct one, the explanation, and the reference behind it. Questions you skipped are flagged too, and a weakest-area callout tells you where the next study session should go.

Free users get a scored 10-question sample exam every day, with the same complete answer review.

20 WRITTEN STUDY GUIDES

About two hours of reading that covers the exam properly — personal appearance and why it is never waived, acknowledgments and jurats in depth, oaths and affirmations, copy certification, signature by mark and proxy signing, non-English signers, notarial certificates and the defects that get documents rejected, journal mechanics, loan signings, fees and advertising, when you must refuse, and bonds versus errors-and-omissions insurance. Each guide carries its key terms and the points worth walking in with. The first three are free.

FLASHCARDS

Eight decks for fast recall: the notary's role, notarial acts, identifying signers, journal and seal, prohibited acts, electronic and remote notarization, apostilles, and fraud red flags. The first deck is free.

TOOLS THAT KEEP WORKING AFTER YOU'RE COMMISSIONED

• Fee Calculator — maximum fees for all 50 states and DC, with travel-fee notes • Journal Builder — log notarizations and export the record to CSV • Certificate Wording — sample language for each notarial act • Document Identifier — what a document is, and which act it usually calls for • Signer ID Checklist — run through identity, awareness and willingness before you stamp • Commission Tracker — your commission number, county and expiry, with a countdown • Notarial Acts Reference — what each act certifies, and what it does not

PLANS

Free: daily practice questions, a scored sample exam every day, the first three study guides, the first flashcard deck, and fee lookups for five states. Pro: all of it — monthly, annual, or a one-time lifetime purchase.

IMPORTANT

Notary Prep is a study aid and a working reference. It is not legal advice, and it is not affiliated with any Secretary of State, commissioning authority, examining body or notary association. Requirements vary by state and change over time — always verify against your state's official notary handbook before you rely on anything here.

The in-app journal is a working record, not a substitute for whatever official journal your state requires. Many states require one that is bound, sequentially numbered and tamper-evident.

SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS

Notary Prep Pro is a monthly or annual auto-renewing subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. The monthly plan begins with a 3-day free trial, then renews at the monthly price unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before it ends; the annual plan renews the same way. Current prices are shown in the app before you buy, and payment is charged to your Apple Account on confirmation. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings.
