Notary Prep CA: Practice Exam

Notary Prep CA helps you study for the California notary public exam, with a day-by-day plan to your exam date. Every question is our own, written from the 2026 California Notary Public Handbook and the laws it quotes, and checked against both by a reviewer who did not write it. Each answer tells you why and gives the handbook page, with the section of law where there is one.

YOUR PLAN
• Start with a 15-question check that shows where you stand in every topic
• Set your exam date and how much time you have a day, and get a plan for each day until then
• First time or renewing: if you're renewing, the plan starts with fees, misconduct and electronic notarization
• A daily reminder at the time you choose, only on days you haven't studied yet

PRACTICE
• About 440 multiple choice questions in 12 topics: appointment and commission, identifying signers, the journal, acknowledgments, jurats and oaths, subscribing witnesses and signature by mark, certified copies and corrections, seal and signature, fees, limits and advertising, misconduct and penalties, and electronic and online notarization
• Questions updated for the law changes of January 1, 2027, including the new fees. If your exam is on or after that date, you study the new rules
