We are placing these websites at the beginning of this book for your convenience. Many times throughout the book we will suggest that you check your local state guidelines to ascertain specific state rules and regulations. Because our readers will be located throughout the United States, we thought this would make it easier for you to reference a link to the respective Secretary of State’s offices. You will also find this useful in determining what each state requires for becoming a notary, insurance, etc. You can click on the link or copy the link and paste it in your browser.
