The friend who already passed

I'm Davain Walker. I've been a commissioned New York notary since 2020, and a working loan signing agent just as long. Walker's Notary is the study material I wish had existed when I sat down with the state booklet and a pot of coffee.

Why this course exists

The New York notary exam is a strange test. The state gives you the study material for free, then tests it precisely: exact fees, exact penalties, and a glossary of legal terms that test takers say makes up a huge share of the questions. Most people fail because a 22-page statute reprint can't tell you what matters, and because a lot of the paid prep out there hasn't been updated since New York rewrote its rules in 2023. The material itself is very learnable.

So this course keeps its job simple. It translates the actual law into plain English, one rule at a time, and it drills you with questions written at real-exam difficulty, because easy practice just flatters you until exam day. It also stays current: New York changed its rules in 2023, and a guide that's a year behind will teach you answers that are now wrong.

How the facts stay straight

Every legal claim in the course traces to a source list built from the current state License Law publication (March 2026 edition) and the Department of State's own documents, and we re-verify that list quarterly. When New York changes something, the course changes, and everyone who owns it gets the update free. That's also why the guarantee exists. Pass or it's free: finish the course, score at least 80% on all three practice exams, then take the state exam within 90 days. If you don't pass, send us your exam result and we'll refund every penny.

What I do when I'm not writing lessons

I notarize. Loan signings, mostly, in the particular way New York does them. That matters for you in one specific way: the course ends where most prep stops, with what actually happens after you pass, from the application portal to your first paid signature. When you're commissioned and start wondering about the income side, I'll have opinions and receipts.

Don't take a website's word for it

Anyone can claim to be a notary online. I'd rather you check. My New York commission is public record on the Department of State's licensee search, and I've been signing loan documents around Westchester and the Bronx for years, with reviews you can read yourself. These are my real working-notary profiles, not testimonials I wrote:

Walker's Notary is an independent study course. We are not affiliated with the New York Department of State. The licensee search verifies my commission; it does not endorse this course.
