AND NOW FOR THE BIG NEWS: We are trying something completely new! Beginning in February, the notary team will be hosting monthly, hour-long virtual 'open houses' where you can drop in with your questions and concerns at any time to talk to the notary team. Sign up in Workday and get the link to join, then join us on Teams at any time during the hour. In addition to open discussion and questions, we will occasionally feature a guest expert to discuss a topic of interest in notary practice. You can find the schedule and instructions on the notary training page on our website. Our first offerings will be:

February 27, 12pm-1pm

March 28, 2pm-3pm (special guest--expert on fraud!)

April 30, 11:30am-12:30pm

Reminder about trainings: For all notary trainings now offered by the State of Oregon, you will access registration and training materials by setting up an account in Workday. Information about the self-paced online training, the RON online training, the refresher training, the schedule for upcoming instructor-led webinars (both basic and advanced), in-person trainings, and the instructions for setting up an account in Workday, can all be found on the notary training page on the Secretary of State’s website: https://sos.oregon.gov/business/Pages/notary-training.aspx

Getting stuck in (or outside) Workday? Having login difficulties? We feel you. Contact the notary team for help at NotarySeminar.SOS@sos.oregon.gov. DO NOT contact the help folks at Workday or DAS, they will not be able to help you.

Happy notarizing!
