Q: How can I become a Notary Public?
A: Applications are available at the Legislative Delegation Office. Once the application form is completed, have it notarized and return it to the Delegation Office. Attach a check for $25, made payable to the Secretary of State. Endorsement of a Notary application requires the signatures of delegation members. The Delegation Office obtains these signatures and then forwards the application to the Secretary of State´s office. When the Notary commission is returned to the applicant, the Clerk of Court must record it within 15 days. There is a recording fee.

Q: If I am having problems obtaining service from a local agency, how can your office help?
A: The Delegation Office performs a variety of research and investigative tasks for legislators and constituents. Work is not limited to state agencies and may include contact with private organizations and federal and local government agencies.
