Yesderday I talked to the Calif. CPS (they administer the test for CA Notaries) and I was told that "renewing notaries" would probably not receive their commissions until 4 months after he/she take the test and pass.
I really recommend renewing notaries take the test 6 months before their commission expires.
At least half of the renewing notaries in my notary classes will have a 2-3 month period where their commission will be void.
This time frame (4 months) might get worse (this is my opinion only).

The six month time period requirement is listed in some obscure part of the Notary Handbook, where no logical person would even think to look, immediately after receiving their commission to see that it takes six months for an application of renewal. I submitted everything a month prior to my expiration date, and they've had my application in investigations for THREE MONTHS, and are now sending me "a certified letter" (I learned yesterday) recommending denial. Nothing in my life has changed since the first commission, that would cause them to deny a renewal. Their office (along with the rest of the state) is the most inefficient, poorly run office I have ever dealt with. Its not like they're doing this work for free, I spent almost $200 to fulfill all their requirements. I'm burned out on the CA state government.
