The type of notary examination given in each state may be different. In New York, the test is given on a walk-in basis. The exams are not pre-scheduled, and the tests are ?first come, first serve? exams. The exam fee is $15.00, payable by cashier's check or credit card to the state department. Other important requirements are government issued photo identification and a thumb print before taking the exam.

Upon passing the test, the completed and notarized application with the required fee may be sent to the state department with the pass slip. The oath of office is taken in front of the notary and then the application is signed. Failure to apply for a notary commission within the restricted time, normally two years, of the date of the test invalidates the results. In New York, a person can retake the exam as often as he wants. There is no waiting period for re-examination. Each time, he has to pay the exam fee.
