What your result means

  • Expired: stop notarizing. Texas has no grace period, so you apply for a new commission with a new bond.
  • 90 days or less: your renewal window is open. Complete the state continuing education, get your new bond, and file.
  • More than 90 days: you are active. The lookup shows the date your renewal window opens.

Common questions

How do I check when my Texas notary commission expires?

Enter your last name, or your notary ID, in the lookup above. It searches the Texas Secretary of State list of notary commissions and shows your expiration date and the days left.

How early can I renew a Texas notary commission?

Up to 90 days before it expires. Renewal applications filed on or after January 1, 2026 also require the state continuing education course under SB 693, so start early.

Is there a grace period after my Texas notary commission expires?

No. Once the expiration date passes you cannot notarize until a new commission is issued. You apply the same way: complete the state education, get a new bond, and file your application.

Why is my commission not showing up?

The state updates this list quarterly, so a commission issued or renewed in the last few months may not appear yet. Try your last name only, or search by notary ID.

How much does the bond cost to renew?

Lone Star Notary Bond is $45 for the 4-year, $10,000 Texas notary bond with $5,000 of E&O included, and we file it with the Secretary of State for you.
