NY Notary Renewal: Get Your Oath of Office Form and Notarize It Online
Renewing your New York notary commission? You need a new, notarized Oath of Office (Form DOS-2201). Get the official form and notarize it online in minutes, from any state. Enter your email to start.
Every New York notary renewal requires a brand-new Oath of Office, filed on state form DOS-2201. The oath must be signed in front of a commissioned notary (or a county clerk) before you submit it with your renewal application and the $60 fee. Getting that oath notarized is the step most people get stuck on – and you can do it online in minutes.
