Louisiana Notary Starter Kit: State Exam, Civil-Law Notary Powers, $50,000 Bond, Annual Report and Remote Online Rules
A Louisiana notary's powers, set out in R.S. 35:2, differ from those of notaries in other states, and statewide authority comes from passing a 5-hour open-book exam. This kit follows the Secretary of State's path and quotes the statute.

Browse the storeWho it is for
Louisiana applicants preparing for the state exam, attorneys taking a commission without the exam, and Louisiana notaries registering for remote online notarization.
Not the right fit if
You aren't applying in Louisiana, or you need the 2025 official study guide or a Louisiana attorney's advice, which this kit doesn't replace.
Why it is different
- Describes Louisiana's civil-law notary powers in the words of R.S. 35:2 and Civil Code art. 1833.
- Reflects Act 258 of 2025, the bond law in force from February 1, 2026.
- Says where official sources were silent instead of guessing.
What is inside
- Application, pre-assessment, exam and powers. R.S. 35:191 qualifications, the $35 application, the pre-assessment, the open-book exam, and how R.S. 35:2 powers differ from other states'.
- Fees, ID number, signature and records. Why there is no fee cap, the notary ID number beside your name, signature as seal, and the 10-year remote records.
- Remote online notary rules and exclusions. The $100 registration, where you and the parties must be, the documents R.S. 35:623 excludes, and careful advertising.
- Exam-to-commission checklist. Application, pre-assessment, exam registration, bond, annual report and renewal dates.
- Louisiana filing costs. The $35 application, $100 exam and $35 commission filing ($170 together) filled in, with blanks for the $50,000 bond premium, study guide and stamp.
- Act register pages. Pages with columns for parties and witnesses, parish, and in-person or remote acts.
