Becoming a Notary in Los Angeles County

Los Angeles County has more active notaries than any other county in California, and CPS HR, the state’s exam administrator, runs sessions here on a steady rhythm, usually in Torrance at El Camino College and in Valencia at College of the Canyons. Both venues accept walk-ins, though pre-registering through CPS guarantees you a seat and a time slot. The session list below updates automatically, so what you’re seeing is what’s actually scheduled.

Your path is the same anywhere in the state: complete a state-approved 6-hour course, pass the exam, submit your application with Live Scan and your bond. Finishing the course is the part you control completely. Complete it in a day or two, print your Proof of Completion certificate immediately, and bring it to the exam session with your ID and the state fee.
