(LITTLE ROCK, ARK.) - FREE online notary training is now
available and can be found on the Secretary of State’s website and the new
notary management system at http://bcs.sos.arkansas.gov. The online training can be accessed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
According to Notary Public Administrator Danielle Fusco, there are currently over 51,000 notaries public in good standing in Arkansas. "Due to the popularity of our in-person notary trainings, we
found it prudent to offer the training in a way that it is available to all
Arkansans without regard to their schedules and location," said Fusco.
A select number of in-person seminars will still be conducted
across the state in partnership with the Arkansas Small Business and Technology
Development Centers. These seminars will be held:
- March

- June
14th -- Jonesboro
- August
2nd – Russellville
- August
18th – Mountain Home
- September
6th – El Dorado
- September
7th – Magnolia
These trainings are for all levels of notaries. Each seminar covers topics such as: Using the
new notary management system; the application, renewal and amendment process;
rules, regulations and proper notary procedures; supplies; and authentication
of documents to be used abroad.
The training will assist new and renewing applicants with the
required exam that became part of the application process on January 1, 2016.
