Imagine Running a Successful Notary Business in California with Confidence

Just Passed the California Notary Exam?

Or Been Commissioned for Years but Still Feel Unsure? Seeking a refresher of the foundational basics?

You’re exactly who this workshop is for.

California Notary Workshop & Fundamentals | Refresher Course

Let’s be real. California’s notary exam focuses on laws, fines, and ethics.
It does not teach you how to actually do your job.

That means most notaries walk out of their required course with a commission…
but no real clue how to handle a live notarization.
Even worse? Some have been doing it wrong for years — and don’t even know it.

 Sound Familiar?

• You’re unsure about how to ID a signer correctly

• You “guess” whether it’s an Acknowledgment or Jurat

• You’re foggy on what belongs in your journal

• You avoid signers with disabilities or credible witnesses

• You were trained once and haven’t reviewed CA notary basics since

These are all liability traps — and they happen every day.

This Workshop Is the Missing Piece:

A practical, training focused entirely on how to BE a California Notary Public in real-world situations — not just how to pass the state exam.

Led by Kimberly Sennett, California Notary Advisor and founder of Notary Academy, this course delivers hands-on clarity for both brand new and seasoned notaries.

✅ Here’s What You’ll Walk Away With:

• Confidence in properly ID’ing every signer

• Mastery of Acknowledgments vs. Jurats (and when each is appropriate)

• A full understanding of credible witnesses, signatures by mark, and out-of-state documents

• Clear guidance on journal entries, mental capacity issues, and how to say no

• The tools, mindset, and procedures to notarize accurately and legally

• PLUS: How to avoid the most common mistakes that can cost you your commission

• Unlimited access to this version while available and future updates

Ideal For:

• New notaries who want to start strong

• Renewing notaries who realize they’ve never fully understood the fundamentals

• Veteran notaries who haven’t reviewed the laws or best practices in years

• Anyone serious about protecting their commission — and their clients

Just because you're commissioned…

doesn’t mean you were ever taught how to do the job. And that gap is where mistakes, liability, and revoked commissions live. This workshop fills that gap. 

With thousands of notaries trained, Notary Academy has one clear mission: Protect the public, protect your stamp.
