How many years is a notary commission valid for?

Here is some state specific information for how long a notary commission is good for. To get a notary commission, you must apply to your state. You generally must be a resident of the state you are applying for. But, in many cases, you can apply if you work in a particular state or are from a neighboring state. Many states allow for what we call “dual commissioning.” Ask your state in question if you can apply to be a notary public in their respective state.

The majority of states have a four year term, but a few states have a two, three, five, six year or longer term. Louisiana appoints Notaries for life without teaching them the ins and outs of the profession. Instead they learn about legal support work like estate planning. It just doesn’t add up.
