Commission, qualifications and education — free practice questions
2 sample questions · answers & explanations
Who may be appointed, the education requirement, and the paperwork that has to land inside 30 days. These are the questions the app shows a non-premium user for this part. The full bank carries 56 practice questions here plus 34 in the mock pool, each written from the Notary Public Handbook published by the California Secretary of State and carrying the verbatim provision it tests.
Which of the following is NOT one of the requirements to become a California notary public?
Why: Government Code section 8201 lists five requirements: legal residency in California, being at least 18, satisfactorily completing an approved course of study, passing the written examination prescribed by the Secretary of State, and passing a background check. There is no educational attainment requirement such as a diploma — the required 'course of study' is the approved notary education course, not general schooling.
What is the minimum age to be appointed a California notary public?
Why: Government Code section 8201 requires an applicant to be at least 18 years of age.
