The Minnesota Notary exam is administered by the Minnesota Department of Public Safety. Like every state, Minnesota adopts the federal standards as a baseline and adds state-specific requirements, fees, and procedures.

  • Commission fee: approximately $20 application.
  • Commission term: 5 years.
  • Minnesota notaries are commissioned by the Governor for 5-year terms; must be a Minnesota resident or work in the state.

To get started, read the official Minnesota handbook (linked above), practice with the tests on this page until you consistently score above 70%, and then schedule your exam with the Minnesota Department of Public Safety.
