What are the qualifications of a Louisiana notary?

A notary must be a resident citizen (registered to vote in the parish of residence) or resident alien of the state, 18 years of age or older, and take and pass the statewide standardized exam administered by the Secretary of State. Anyone licensed to practice law in the state is exempt from the test. See Title 35:191.

What are the bond requirements?

Notary Surety Bonds, Errors and Omissions policies and Personal Surety Bonds are required by law to be in the amount of $10,000. Surety bonds and Errors and Omissions policies must be renewed every 5 years. A $20 filing fee is required. Personal Surety Bonds expire upon cancellation or death of the surety. See Notary Filing Requirements Chart.

If I work in a parish other than my residence parish, can I still notarize in that parish?

There are groups of reciprocal parishes created by the legislature. The reciprocal agreement allows a validly appointed notary in a parish authorization to exercise any and all functions of a notary in the reciprocal parishes without additional bonding or examination. See list of reciprocal parishes.

If the parishes are not reciprocal you may obtain a Dual Commission.

No test is required, but you must maintain bonds in both parishes.
