Confusing laws, concepts, and procedures are explained in plain English. Learn about the day-today issues you will face in serving as a notary-avoiding conflicts of interest, maintaining professional ethics, charging proper fees, and when to defer to an attorney. Find out how to handle special situations, minimize legal liability, and much more. Take this class and increase your chances to pass the notary exam the first time. This class has a materials fee (paid to the instructor at the first class).
