INDIANAPOLIS – Today, Indiana Secretary of State Diego Morales proudly recognizes National Notary Public Day, November 7, 2024, honoring the invaluable contributions of more than 52,000 commissioned notaries public across the Hoosier state.
Notaries are trusted guardians of integrity in business and civic affairs, administering oaths and ensuring proper signing, authentication, and witnessing of crucial documents for Indiana’s citizens and businesses. Notary Publics are public officials commissioned by the Secretary of State. An Indiana Notary Public Commission applicant must meet qualification requirements, complete a training course and examination, and obtain a surety bond. National Notary Public Day was created in 1975 to recognize notaries’ contributions to commerce and public service.
“National Notary Public Day is an occasion to recognize the dedication of Indiana’s notary publics. Their essential work strengthens our communities and enhances the stability of our Business Services Division’s framework,” said Diego Morales, Indiana Secretary of State.
The Secretary of State’s Office oversees the commissioning of notaries public as part of its Business Services Division, one of the office’s four divisions. The Secretary of State’s Business Services is key in supporting entrepreneurs, business leaders, and all Hoosiers by facilitating efficient, secure, and public business and corporate registration.
