New York Notary Exam exam requirements & cost
Straight from the certifying body — separate from what we charge for the study portal.
The New York notary public examination has 40 multiple-choice questions and a one-hour time limit (Department of State examination schedule for November-December 2026). Results are pass or fail with no numerical score, and a passing result is valid for two years for your commission application. The examination is offered in English and in several other languages listed by the Department of State. The Department of State reports pass or fail only and does not publish a numerical passing score, so this guide does not state one. Use the percentage in this portal as a self-check. The Department of State lists a $15 written examination fee and a $60 initial notary commission application fee; application fees are not refundable. The Department of State sets the eligibility rules for a notary commission (age, residence or business in New York, and character requirements); confirm them before you apply.
