The Notary Commission Number is the unique identification number assigned to every commissioned Notary Public by their state’s Secretary of State or licensing authority. This number serves as official proof that the notary has been legally authorized to perform notarial acts within their jurisdiction.
Each notary’s commission number is unique and directly tied to their license record. It helps clients, businesses, and state officials verify the notary’s credentials and commission status.
The Notary Commission Number plays a vital role in maintaining the integrity and authenticity of notarial services. It helps:
Identify and verify a notary’s official record with the state.
Track commission issuance and renewal history.
Prevent fraudulent or unauthorized notarizations.
Ensure accountability in legal documentation and signature witnessing.
Your Notary Commission Number can typically be found on:
Your official Notary Commission Certificate issued by the state.
The Notary Seal or Stamp you use for notarizations.
The verification database of your state’s Secretary of State website.
Any correspondence or license renewal forms issued by your state’s notary division.
You can verify any notary’s commission number through your state’s official notary verification website. For most states, this database is publicly accessible and includes commission numbers, issue dates, expiration dates, and status details.
