If you took the course and exam in mid April you would have 30 days from the passing of your exam to purchase your bond and go to the County Clerk's office to file it and take your oath. That means (I'm guessing) you should have been a notary by the end of May. What happened? Did you wait too long to file the bond and take your oath?
It seems to me that if the timing was correct you would have become a notary before the July 1 deadline.
Not passing judgment, just wondering if you're out of time. |
