Requirements

What the official page states. If a topic is missing here, that page did not spell it out.

Application

The Business & Commercial Services page links a notary / e-notary program and forms on the BCS portal.

How to get started

1. 01

   Read the SOS notary / e-notary page

   Arkansas publishes traditional and e-notary information on the Business & Commercial Services site.

2. 02

   Use the BCS forms

   Open the BCS notary forms page linked from the official commissioning site.

3. 03

   Register on StampSide

   After you use the Arkansas Secretary of State site, create a public page: photo, where you work, and how clients reach you. You can appear in the Arkansas directory. The page stays unpublished until a commission is on file.

Tools after you apply

Official pages and named suppliers already listed in this product. Checkout is on their site — StampSide does not sell stamps.

• Supplies

  The official page labels the program notary / e-notary. After you are commissioned, use a named supplier for an Arkansas-specific seal.
