The Secretary of State administers the notary examination regionally twice a year on the first Saturday in June and December.
Jurisdiction
Statewide for attorneys. Notaries public are commissioned in the parish of their residence. Notaries in reciprocal parishes have the authority to exercise their official notarial acts within the group reciprocal parishes created by the legislature that have a population of less than forty thousand in which he or his employer maintains an office without additional bonding or examination. If the parishes are not reciprocal, notaries have to obtain a dual commission to notarize in another parish and maintain bonds in both parishes.
Non-Residents

Such individuals will be notary public ex officio upon filing a certificate of good standing from the Louisiana Supreme Court with the Secretary of State. These notaries ex officio are authorized and empowered to exercise all the powers and functions of a commissioned notary public in any parish or parishes in which they maintain an office open to the public for the practice of law. These non-resident attorneys must submit a $10,000 surety bond or errors and omissions policy or personal surety bond.
