What do I need to do if my notary expired?

If your notary commission has expired, you need to refrain from performing any notarial acts until it is renewed. To renew your notary commission, check your state’s requirements, which may include completing a renewal application, paying a fee, and possibly taking an exam. After fulfilling these requirements, submit your application to the appropriate state authority. Once your renewal is approved, you can resume your duties as a notary.
