Did you know? The acknowledgment is the most commonly performed notarial act. You will learn the proper steps in taking an acknowledgment, including the spoken as well as the written parts, in Lesson 3 of our online course. This is just one example of what you'll learn with us.

Here are a few other helpful things to know:

• The online course material is divided into seven lessons along with a glossary and interactive self-assessment quiz (40 questions).

• The seven lessons are: Introduction; Qualifications & Appointment; Acknowledgments; Oaths, Affirmations & Affidavits; Other Notarial Duties; Restrictions; and, Misconduct & Penalties. They are formatted for easy reading on your computer screen. If printed, the lessons amount to 50 pages.

• This course will help you focus on the terms, concepts and procedures you specifically need to know to serve competently in your new public and professional role.

This class helps you prepare for your day-to-day duties as a New Jersey Notary Public and provides you with a comprehensive view of the notary public office. Confusing laws, concepts and procedures are clearly explained, and examples are given to illustrate situations that a notary is likely to encounter. Topics include avoiding conflicts of interest, maintaining professional ethics, charging proper fees, when to defer to an attorney and minimizing legal liability. Learn how to properly execute acknowledgments and affidavits, and how to administer oaths and affirmations, as well as inform yourself about what you cannot do as a notary within the State of New Jersey, such as performing marriages or certifying copies of official records. An orientation course such as this one is a must for notary candidates to become fully aware of the authority, duties, and responsibilities relating to this important public office. We believe we have the best online course materials and live instructor support (via email, phone, Skype or Zoom to answer your questions) available to New Jersey notary candidates. PLEASE NOTE: This class does not consist of "standalone" material; it is designed for your supplemental study. The State of New Jersey has not approved any specific coursework within a face-to-face learning environment, whether traditional or online, since announcing recent changes. According to the Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services, you are directed to Review the N.J. Notary Public Manual and watch the entire series of Notary Public Manual Training Videos. Questions? Email Steven. The jurisdiction of a notary is statewide; therefore, once you are duly commissioned (i.e. licensed), you may render notary services to the general public throughout the 21 counties of the state, including BUTLER in Morris County.

Easy-to-Read Lessons

The online course material is essentially the same as what is given at our 3-hour live programs. The language is plain English, the course outline is clearly structured, and our online viewer is a breeze to navigate. The New Jersey-specific details are as up-to-date as possible. If you're looking for the New York edition of the course instead, click here.

Hands-on Learning

We provide you with sample forms (an acknowledgment certificate, affidavit and more) to print out and follow along with the lessons in step-by-step fashion, as though you were actually sitting in the classroom.

Affordable

While typical seminars run from $75 to $175, our online version is only $39. "O.K.," you might say, "That sounds fine — I will save money by taking the class online, even though I might prefer live classroom instruction. But how much are the mandatory State fees that I must pay to become a notary?" Answer: Whether you choose the traditional classroom format or an online option, your official filing fees are minimal. There is a $25 fee payable to the N.J. State Treasurer, along with a $15 fee payable to your County Clerk when you get sworn in. Your New Jersey notary commission, i.e. license, will be good for FIVE years.

No Commercials!

We point you to sources of notary supplies, such as stamps, and services such as Notary Public Errors & Omissions Insurance, without "pushing" any products in particular. We give you straight talk about which product lines are preferred. You'll appreciate the practical, hands-on, "no-nonsense" teaching style.

Personalized Approach

The instructor begins his presentation by giving you his business card with full contact information, just as he does in the live classroom. He is available to answer your questions via email, telephone, Skype or Zoom. This means you get not only the written self-paced course materials, but also DIRECT ACCESS to a QUALIFIED INSTRUCTOR — all for only $39. Please feel free to reach out. We enjoy hearing from our students, and we are interested in being a part of your success! Enroll now.
