IL - Other Information of Interest
To become an Illinois notary public you must be a U.S. citizen which is a somewhat unusual rule since most other states only require the applicant to be a resident of the state. Here is some text from the Illinois notary public website regarding this:

Notaries are appointed by the Secretary of State for a four year term of office. An applicant for a commission must (1) be a U.S. citizen or an alien lawfully admitted as a permanent resident, (2) be a resident of Illinois for at least 30 days, (3) be at least 18 years old, (4) be able to read and write English, (5) not have any felony convictions, and (6) have not had their notary commission revoked during the past 10 years.

There are some new and important laws that effect ONLY Cook county, Illinois that all notaries near Chicago should read about. These laws effect what notaries should do in regards to notarizing deeds of reconveyances. There are some new rules that effect how notaries must keep records for these documents and where they must submit their records to.
