Become an Alabama notary public with Notary Rotary

Appointment and Commissioning

Notaries in the State of Alabama are appointed and commissioned by the probate judges of the various counties. The probate judge reports to the Secretary of State the name, county, date of issuance and date of expiration of the commission of each notary appointed and commissioned under applicable law.  For information on being appointed a notary public, please contact the probate judge for your county.
