In Pennsylvania, the Secretary of the Commonwealth may appoint as many notaries public as are deemed necessary. A notary public must be at least 18 years old; be a resident of or employed within the Commonwealth; and be of good moral character, integrity and ability.

Notary public appointees for an initial commission only must have completed a pre-approved three-hour notary education course.  In addition, please be advised that under a recent Supreme Court ruling, effective immediately, any applicant for reappointment who was appointed on July 1, 2003 or before and whose notary commission was in effect July 1, 2003 is permanently EXEMPT from the education requirement.  Exclusions include the following:  1) those who received a letter of reappointment but failed for 45 days after the beginning of their terms to obtain a bond and have their bond, commission and oath recorded; 2) those who resigned their commissions and did not seek reappointment; 3) those who permitted their commissions to expire and did not seek reappointment; and 4) those whose commissions were revoked as the result of a disciplinary action taken by the Department. 

The following persons are not eligible to hold the office of notary public:

  1. Any person holding any judicial office in the Commonwealth.
  2. A member of the U.S. Congress, and a person holding an office or appointment of profit or trust under the legislative, executive or judiciary departments of the federal government for which he or she receives a salary, fees or prerequisites.
  3. Any member of the General Assembly of Pennsylvania.
