What Ohio law modernized the notary program and authorized online notarization?
Why: Ohio's Notary Public Modernization Act (Senate Bill 263, effective 2019) restructured the notary program—adding education, testing, background checks, statewide commissions, and authorization for online notarization. It is the framework the Ohio exam is built on.
How long is an Ohio notary commission valid?
Why: An Ohio notary commission issued under the Modernization Act is valid for five years and is statewide. New non-attorney applicants complete education, pass the 80% exam, and clear a background check; attorneys follow a separate exempt track.
