Browse the storeWho it is for
Anyone preparing for the California notary public exam, first-time or renewing, after or alongside the six-hour or three-hour course.
Not the right fit if
You aren't taking the California notary exam, or you want actual exam questions: these are original practice questions. It doesn't replace the required 6-hour (or 3-hour refresher) approved course.
Why it is different
- Built from the Secretary of State's handbook and FAQs, with the Government or Civil Code section named in each answer.
- Weighted like the real exam: heavy on misconduct, fees and notarial acts, with the exam format from the administrator's page.
- Checked against the 2026 handbook (January 2026), including where remote online notarization stands.
What is inside
- Study guide. Qualifications, the 30-day oath and bond deadline, seal, sequential journal and thumbprints, credible witnesses, acknowledgments and jurats, fees, advertising and penalties.
- 100 practice questions with answers. Four-option multiple choice in the exam's topic areas, with an answer key and a one-line reason citing the handbook or code section.
- Timed practice exam. The same California questions as a timed test in your browser, offline, with score history.
