South Carolina Notary Public Online Manual

Before a person can perform notarial acts as a notary public, he or she must receive a commission as evidence of authority to perform those acts. Notaries are appointed by the Governor and commissioned by the Secretary of State (?26-1-10). Applicants must take the oath of office found in the South Carolina Constitution, which is included in the notary public application (?26-1-40). The application must be signed with pen and ink and the signature of the applicant must be acknowledged by a person authorized to administer oaths (?26-1-40). The date of your signature and the date of the notarization must match. You cannot notarize your own signature on the application or at any other time. The bottom part of the application is to be completed by your legislative delegation. The application fee is $25.00, made payable to the Secretary of State's Office. Once you have completed the application, you will mail it along with the fee to your county's legislative delegation office to be processed.
