WHAT'S NEW IN PROBATE

ALABAMA REVISED NOTARY PUBLIC ACT

Effective September 1, 2023, the process for becoming a Notary Public changes, pursuant to Alabama Act 2023-548. Under the new law persons wishing to become a notary public are required to file an application with the county probate court with a $10.00 filing fee. Applications will be verified by the court clerks. Following verification, the probate judge will then send the applicant a letter rejecting the application or will send a letter of appointment approving the application. Within 40 days of the date of the letter of appointment the applicant must obtain a notary bond in the amount of $50,000 and must also complete an online training program. The bond and the certificate of training must be recorded in the probate office with a $59.00 filing fee. Once the bond and certificate are recorded a notary commission will be issued.
