To become a Notary Public or renew your commission, you must first apply through the Secretary of State's office or by phone at 651-296-2803 or 877-551-6767 (9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. Central Standard Time).
Once you receive your notary commission, you are required to register your commission with the county where you reside. If you are not a Minnesota resident, you may register in any Minnesota county. Registration in St. Louis County may be done either in person or by mail.
