File a Complaint

Complaints of misconduct regarding a Minnesota notary public are investigated by the Minnesota Department of Commerce, Market Assurance Division. If you have a complaint, please refer to Commerce using any of the following:

• Website: File a complaint with Commerce
• Phone: 651-539-1600 or 1-800-657-3602 (8 AM - 4:30 PM)
• Fax: 651-539-0105
• Email: market.assurance@state.mn.us

To view a list of notaries who have been subject to enforcement actions, visit the Commerce Actions and Regulatory Documents Search (CARDS). Select: Enforcement Actions. Then select Industry type: Notary and enter any other specific criteria you wish to use in your search.

Note: CARDS will only show notaries who have had enforcement actions taken against them. If you're trying to verify that a notary is active or in good standing, use the Find a Notary tool instead.
