Your present notary public commission will expire soon! If you would like to remain a notary public, you must renew your present commission.

The State of Illinois does not automatically renew your present commission. Every four years notaries must complete a new application, be re-bonded and you must receive a new rubber stamp.

TO COMPLETE THE APPLICATION

1. Complete the application as it applies to you.

2. Make a copy of your driver's license or state ID and attach and mail it with the application.

3. In the middle section, "Notarial Oath," please sign your name and have your signature notarized by a valid notary other than yourself.

4. You must sign on the bottom left line of the page.

NOTE:
The county clerk will notify you when they have received your notary public commission. You must record your commission in that office. The fee for recording is $5.00, or you may record by mail and the fee is $10.00. This fee is not included in the fee you paid to the Notary Public Association of Illinois. This fee is paid directly to the county clerk's office. They will notify you by mail when they require it.
