The Department of State has granted an additional extension for notary applicants who have to take the exam. This extension has been executed in Pearson VUE’s database but it will not be reflected in the Department of State’s database.

Any applicant whose exam authorization has expired or will expire between March 1 and December 31, 2020 will have until June 30, 2021 to take and pass the notary public examination.
