Steps for becoming a Missouri notary

1. Be sure you meet Missouri requirements.

You must:

  • Be a registered voter for the county to which you are applying or be a legal alien of the US
  • Be able to read and write English
  • Have not had your notary commissions revoked during the past 10 years
  • Non-residents of Missouri may apply if employed in Missouri and planning to use the commission only for that place of business
  • Any permanent resident alien under Section 245 of the Immigration and Nationality Act can become a notary public in Missouri
