Why Renew Your Illinois Notary Bond with the NNA
To renew your commission, you are required to complete a training course and exam from a state-approved training provider and submit a new application with a $5,000 or $30,000 Notary bond that covers the four-year commission period. Your renewal supply package includes the bond, Notary stamp, and access to the NNA hotline. The hotline is staffed with experts who can answer questions about unfamiliar signing situations.
Non-residents who want to renew their commission must submit a non-resident application and purchase a $5,000 or $30,000 bond for a one-year appointment.
The NNA is not a commissioning authority. You are appointed and commissioned by the Illinois Index Department. IL Notary Public Study Course Provider Certification No. 2024001. Complaints regarding the course provider may be directed to the Illinois Secretary of State’s Index Department by phone: 217-782-7017, or by mail: 111 E Monroe St., Springfield, IL 62756. NNA will not sell or disclose any consumer information provided by the student except for the purposes of verifying the student's identity, pursuant to IAC 176.240(e).
