While the Office of the Westchester County Clerk maintains records of all notaries public commissioned in Westchester County, we do not administer the application/examination process. Instead, you must apply to the New York State Department of State.
The term of a notary public expires after four years. A renewal application is mailed to the notary approximately three months prior to the expiration of his or her commission.
In order to check on the status of a notary public license, please visit the New York State Department of State website where you will be able to perform a search for Licensees and Registrants. Please be advised that it can take up to four months to receive a Notary Public identification card from the Department of State. The quickest way to confirm that your renewal has been processed by our office is to include a self addressed, stamped envelope with your renewal form so that a receipt will promptly be mailed to you.
