New Online Notary Application Process in Illinois
The Illinois Secretary of State has launched a new notary application website, revolutionizing the way Illinois residents can apply to become notaries or renew their notary commissions. The online system has significantly streamlined the notary application process, reducing approval times from weeks to few business days.
One key benefit of this online application is the elimination of the requirement to personally appear before a notary to take the oath of office and to have the application notarized. In addition, applicants can now complete their notary applications on the Illinois Secretary of State’s website and upload an electronic copy of their signed notary bonds and course certificates, thus eliminating the need to print and mail paper applications.
