Currently, the only requirement to become a Texas Online Notary Public is that the notary have an “active commission” as a traditional Texas Notary Public. Please note that Texas law has recently changed that now requires completion of an “approved training course” for those applying to be new Texas traditional notaries and for existing traditional notaries to renew their traditional notary commissions. As discussed above, Notary.io will assist you in obtaining your required 2-year signing certificate (x.509 tamper evident certificate) and electronic image of your notary seal and both of these items will be needed for your application to become a Texas Online Notary.
