GSCCCA states Georgia notaries are commissioned for four-year terms by the Clerk of Superior Court in the county of residence, with a neighboring-state employment exception described in the official materials.
The official Georgia notary pages state that, as of January 1, 2025, applicants and renewing notaries must complete the educational training class before appointment and within 30 days before renewal.
GSCCCA lists the appointment or reappointment fee range as $40 to $55 depending on county handling, and it notes that Georgia notaries may perform notarial acts anywhere within the State of Georgia.
