Prepare to Become a New Jersey Notary Public

The New Jersey Notary Course from OG Academy is self-paced online training for people getting ready to become a notary public in New Jersey. Study the lessons on your own schedule, check what you have learned with knowledge checks, and return to the material whenever you need a refresher.

It is built for busy adults: start on your phone or computer, pause any time, and pick up where you left off.

Important: supplemental training, not the State process

OG Academy provides supplemental training and exam preparation. This course does not replace New Jersey’s official education and testing requirements, it is not the State’s official course, and completing it does not make you a notary public. Applicants must separately satisfy the requirements established by the New Jersey Department of the Treasury.

They are study support only, and OG Academy cannot guarantee any exam result.

For the current requirements, fees and exam details, always rely on the official New Jersey website.
