Missouri notary commission
What a Missouri commission takes
Notaries in Missouri are commissioned by the Missouri Secretary of State. Handbook or training, an 80% exam, a $10,000 bond and an oath at the county clerk.
Who Missouri commissions
- At least 18 (RSMo 486.605).
- You live in Missouri or have a regular place of work or business there. A nonresident must work in Missouri, use the seal only for that work, and appoint the Secretary of State as agent for service of process.
- Living legally in the United States, and able to read and write English.
- You pass the Secretary of State's exam with 80% or better, after reading the handbook or completing the prescribed training (486.630).
- No felony or dishonesty-related conviction or plea in the past five years. The Secretary may also deny for material misstatements or past official misconduct.

Serving papers in Missouri
Before you serve papers in Missouri
Each state sets its own rules for serving court papers, and some counties and cities add their own. It is up to you to meet Missouri's requirements, and the application asks whether you do. Check Missouri's court rules and its court self-help pages for current requirements. We don't give legal advice.
One example from the official pages: in small claims cases (Small claims court, a division of the circuit court), the pages we checked describe service this way: “The court mails the summons by certified mail; if that fails, a process server or sheriff can serve for an extra fee. The defendant must get the summons at least 10 days before the court date.” Other kinds of cases have their own service rules.
Missouri contractor questions
Do I need a Missouri notary commission?
For notary and loan signing jobs in Missouri, yes: a commission from the Missouri Secretary of State with at least 60 days left and E&O insurance of at least $100,000; loan signings also need a current NNA certification. Court runs and serves don't need a commission.
Do I need a license to serve papers in Missouri?
That depends on where you serve. Check Missouri's court rules and any county or city requirement before you accept a serve. This is not legal advice.
How much work is there in Missouri?
It depends on demand near you, and we make no promise of volume or earnings.
Am I an employee?
No. You are an independent contractor: you choose your jobs, can counter any offer, and use your own vehicle and equipment.
