Notary practice exam

Here are 20 free practice questions on notary duties, written from New York’s official Notary Public License Law booklet. Most of the ideas, like acknowledgments, oaths and identifying signers, apply in every state. California has its own rules on top, so if you’re testing there, use its handbook as well. You’ll see why each answer is right, and you can ask the tutor if it still doesn’t click.
