Illinois Notary Exam 2026

Study for the Illinois notary public examination with a complete, offline practice app built straight from the law: the Illinois Notary Public Act (5 ILCS 312) and the Illinois notary administrative rules (14 Ill. Adm. Code Part 176). Every question is original, written from the enacted statute and rules, and cites the passage it comes from. WHAT YOU GET • 594 original practice questions across the six real exam areas: getting and keeping your commission, performing notarial acts, certificates and the official seal, the notarial journal and records, electronic and remote notarization, and prohibited acts, misconduct and penalties. • 520 flashcards for the deadlines, fees, bond amounts, definitions and penalties you need to know cold. • Timed 50-question mock exams drawn fresh from the bank each time, weighted across the six areas and held to the real 85 percent pass mark. • Weak-area review that resurfaces what you keep getting wrong. • Per-topic readiness so you know when you are ready for test day. BUILT FOR THE REAL EXAM Since 1 January 2024, every new and renewing Illinois notary must complete an approved course and pass a 50-question final examination given by the course provider. The pass mark is 85 percent, at least 43 of 50 correct (14 Ill. Adm. Code 176.235), and the exam may include true or false items. Illinois publishes no official time limit, so the in-app mock uses a clearly-labelled unofficial practice format of 50 questions in 60 minutes. WHY RIVERMAP • Buy once. No subscription and no recurring fees. • Works fully offline. No account, no sign-up, no tracking. Everything stays on your device. • Honest, sourced content built from the public text of the law.
