Pennsylvania Notary Starter Kit: Requirements, Fees, ID Rules, Remote Notarization and Startup Checklist
Pennsylvania asks for a 3-hour course, an exam, a $25,000 bond and filing within 45 days. Miss a step and the commission stalls, so this kit puts every step in order.

Browse the storeWho it is for
Pennsylvanians taking the required notary course and exam, and new Pennsylvania notaries getting bonded and filed.
Not the right fit if
You aren't seeking a Pennsylvania commission, or you need the approved 3-hour course itself, which this kit doesn't replace.
Why it is different
- Fees and rules come from the Pennsylvania Department of State's notary pages, named under each table.
- Includes the exact not-an-attorney notice the Department publishes.
- Explains why a missed 45-day recording deadline voids the commission and means a new bond.
What is inside
- Course, exam and $42 application. Pennsylvania's 3-hour education requirement, the exam, and the application, step by step.
- Bond, 45-day filing, fees and stamp. The $25,000 bond, the 45-day deadline to file, fee caps, journal and stamp rules, with sources.
- Remote notarization and notario rules. How Pennsylvania handles remote notarization, plus the Department's not-an-attorney notice word for word.
- Pennsylvania commission checklist. From course sign-up and the Pearson VUE exam to the $25,000 bond, oath and recorder of deeds filing within 45 days, and your first appointment.
- Pennsylvania startup budget. The $42 application and $65 exam ($107 if you pass the first time) filled in, with lines for the course, bond premium, county recording and stamp.
- Pennsylvania journal pages. Record pages for Pennsylvania acts; if your commission ends without renewal, the journal goes to the county recorder of deeds within 30 days.
