Arizona Notary - American Association of Notaries

 A notary public is a promising legal profession that requires a solid education, a flair for the law and honesty. For this, you need to take a number of steps that will allow you to take up this career. Let's take a look at how to become a lawyer and what stages a candidate must go through.

 

Education

A person who graduated in law with a master's degree may become a notary. In the case of studies abroad, it is necessary that they are also recognized in Poland. However, the master's degree is not everything. Studying law does not prepare you to work as a notary. To become one, you also need to undergo appropriate training and pass appropriate exams.

 

Notary application

A candidate may apply for a notary application only after graduation. It is a training in the field of notary work which lasts 2.5 years. To get into them, you must submit the required documents - including a certificate of good conduct - and pass the entrance exam.

The examination consists of 150 questions in the form of a test and the applicant notary public must answer at least 100 of them correctly.

 

Professional exam

After completing the training, the candidate will face another test of knowledge and skills.

The exam is divided into two stages. The first stage consists of 100 test questions. The second one requires reading the description of a specific case, and writing a draft notarial deed and legal opinion for it. After passing it - it's time to practice.

 

Notary assessment

A notary public must also have a minimum of 2 years of professional experience behind him. An assessor, i.e. a candidate, completes an internship in a law firm under the supervision of an experienced specialist. This is a stage that, apart from theory, allows you to learn the profession in practice. After the appropriate time has elapsed and the application has been submitted, the Minister of Justice may appoint a candidate for a notary public.

 

Who can become a notary public without application, examination and assessment?

Not everyone has to go through the stages. An attorney-at-law or an advocate with more than 3 years of service may become a notary "on the spot". Another exception are habilitated doctors of legal sciences and professors. Judges and prosecutors also have an open path to the profession of notary. Most applicants, however, have to go all the way from the beginning
