Georgia Superior Court Clerks’ Cooperative Authority (GSCCCA)
Become a notary in Georgia
Notaries in Georgia are commissioned by the Georgia Superior Court Clerks’ Cooperative Authority (GSCCCA). Apply there first. StampSide is a public page after you have used their process. Look up a commission in the GSCCCA Notary Index. Georgia commissions through GSCCCA, not a typical Secretary of State portal.
Where to register
Applications go to the Georgia Superior Court Clerks’ Cooperative Authority (GSCCCA). Open their page for the current application, not a StampSide form.

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

- Language and phone
- Able to read and write English, and provide an operating telephone number.
- Education
- As of January 1, 2025, complete an educational training class before the initial appointment and within 30 days prior to each renewal.
- Term
- Four-year commissions by the Clerk of Superior Court.
- Fee (as posted)
- GSCCCA says the appointment or reappointment fee is $40.00–$55.00. Confirm the exact fee with the county.
How to get started
Complete the education class
Register through the Notary Public Training Course link on the GSCCCA application page.
File the application with the Clerk of Superior Court
Most counties use the web-based form. Some still use a paper application from the clerk. Endorsers, if required, must live in the county, have known you more than 30 days, and not be related to you.
Pay the fee and take the oath
Finish at the Clerk of Superior Court: pay, and take the oath of office.
Buy a seal
GSCCCA says to purchase a metal embosser or rubber ink stamp from an office supply store or notary trade association after commissioning.
Register on StampSide
After you use the Georgia Superior Court Clerks’ Cooperative Authority (GSCCCA) site, create a public page: photo, where you work, and how clients reach you. You can appear in the Georgia 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 The page stays unpublished until a commission is on file.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.
Stamp or seal
Metal emboss type or rubber ink stamp. For renewals, you may reuse a seal only if the text still matches the new commission exactly.
Named suppliers on StampSideMore suppliers
Notary Rotary, Notary.net, and the National Notary Association are on the supplies list. State-specific seals only.

Register, then getting started
StampSide does not commission you — the Georgia Superior Court Clerks’ Cooperative Authority (GSCCCA) does, on the official site above. Register here for a public page. After you sign up, getting started walks through a photo, your commission when you have it, and an email signature for cards and mail. The page stays unpublished until a commission is on file.
After you are commissioned
Appear in the Georgia directory. Closers and the public still confirm standing on the official site.
