Is a Notary Licensed or Commissioned? What You Should Know Before Hiring a Notary.
If you’ve ever searched “licensed notary near me,” you might be surprised to learn the correct term is commissioned — not licensed.
At Eagle Eye Mobile Notary, we’re officially commissioned by the State of California, not “licensed” like other professionals. This distinction matters because it impacts the laws we follow and how we’re authorized to serve clients.
Here’s the difference:
Commissioned Notaries are appointed by the state, take an oath of office, pass a background check, and follow California notary laws.
Licensed Professionals (like real estate agents or nurses) go through exams and are regulated by licensing boards.
So, when you're looking for a mobile notary near you, make sure they are properly commissioned, bonded, and insured—just like we are at Eagle Eye Mobile Notary.
We proudly serve Woodland, Davis, Winters, and surrounding Yolo, Sutter, and Sacramento County cities. From loan signings to power of attorney notarizations, we bring the notary office to your door—on your schedule.
