Updated: County Clerk Announces Notary Night Schedule for 2022

TRENTON -- Happy Holidays! Mercer County Clerk Paula Sollami Covello has announced the monthly Notary Night schedule for 2022. Notary Nights will continue to be held on the first Thursday of each month, from 3 to 7:30 p.m. Notary Nights are held at the Mercer County Connection satellite office in Hamilton, as well as on business days at the Mercer County Clerk’s Office in Trenton, daily from 8:30 to 4:30 p.m. and Wednesdays until 6:30 pm. A mask or face covering must be worn to enter. The dates for 2022 Notary Nights are as follows:

To be sworn in by Mercer County Clerk’s Office staff as a new notary, prospective notaries must apply and have their applications signed by a legislator. If you file your application online it will be sent to your legislator electronically. After the State of New Jersey processes your application, you will be sent your commission by mail. You must take your oath of office. The fee is $15; checks and money order are accepted. Prospective notaries will also need a photo ID and their certificate on hand to be sworn in. After July 2022, all notary applications will have to be completed electronically, and an education component will be required for new notaries due to a change in state notary laws. 

The Clerk’s Office also has new updated Notary Handbooks, which are available for pickup at our office at 209 South Broad St. in Trenton.
