TRUE OR FALSE: An Illinois Notary Public must reside in Illinois.

TRUE
FALSE
Only if they notarize frequently
Only if they charge for services

The correct answer is: FALSE

In Illinois, it is not a requirement for a Notary Public to reside within the state. The law allows individuals to become Notaries as long as they have a place of business or are employed within the state, regardless of where they live. This means that even if a person resides in a different state, they can still serve as a Notary in Illinois as long as they meet other necessary qualifications, such as being at least 18 years old, a U.S. citizen or legal resident, and completing the required training. The other options introduce conditions that are not stipulated by Illinois law. For example, frequent notarization or charging for services does not affect residency requirements, as those factors do not determine eligibility to serve as a Notary. Thus, the assertion that an Illinois Notary Public must reside in Illinois is false.
