OAR 160-100-1010
Provider Certificate of Approval

Before offering any course of study pursuant to Oregon Revised Statute Chapter 194.325 (Examination of notary public), a provider must obtain a Certificate of Approval from the Secretary of State for each course of study offered.

(1)

To apply for a Certificate of Approval, a provider must submit to the Secretary of State a completed Notary Public Education Provider Application or Amendment form, hereby incorporated by reference, an active Oregon business registration number, and a lesson plan satisfying the requirements in OAR 160-100-1020 (Lesson Plan).

(2)

The Secretary of State will issue either a Certificate of Approval, in accordance with section (3), or a deficiency notice, in accordance with OAR 160-100-1030 (Deficient Application or Lesson Plan), within 90 days of receipt of an application and lesson plan.

(3)

Upon approval of an application and lesson plan, the Secretary of State will send a Certificate of Approval to the provider by first class mail to the address listed on the Notary Public Education Provider Application or Amendment form.

(4)

The Certificate of Approval will include the following:

(a)

The name of the approved provider as listed on the Notary Public Education Provider Application or Amendment form.

(b)

The address listed on the Notary Public Education Provider Application or Amendment form.

(c)

The three letter provider identification code issued by the Secretary of State.

(d)

The date the course of study was approved by the Secretary of State.

(5)

An approved provider must not alter or substitute the lesson plan reviewed and approved by the Secretary of State, unless the revisions are approved by the Secretary of State in accordance with OAR 160-100-1050 (Lesson Plan Revisions).

(6)

For the purposes of this chapter, a provider must be authorized to transact business in Oregon in order to be certified. Authorization to transact business must be evidenced by an active Oregon business registration number.

(7)

For the purposes of this chapter, an approved provider is responsible for all employees, agents, instructors, contractors, and subcontractors providing or involved in providing an approved course of study on behalf of the approved provider and the acts of the employees, agents, instructors, contractors, and subcontractors will be deemed the acts of the approved provider.

(8)

The Certificate of Approval will expire 3 years from the date of issuance, and it must be renewed to continue as a state-approved course of instruction. A provider may apply for renewal up to 90 days before the expiration of the Certificate. Upon expiration of the Certificate, the provider must submit a new application, not a renewal, in order to offer state-approved education.

(9)

A Certificate of Approval is non-transferable and may not be conveyed to another provider or applied to another course of study.
