About Golden State Notary

Golden State Notary, Inc. was created to meet a specific need in California. Although there is no shortage of notary training companies, there was a serious deficiency in quality training. Other companies emphasize passing the test, but neglect to teach new notaries the information they need to know. In a world of fraud and litigation, notaries are in high demand, so it is necessary for notaries to be highly trained.

Golden State Notary’s instructors have trained over 70,000 notaries nationwide. They are committed to notaries and have relentlessly trained them for over a decade. Our instructors have trained people from most Fortune 500 companies the office of the President of the United States, and for several law firms and banks.
