Texas has recently updated its Secretary of State (SoS) document upload process. Please follow the steps below to complete your TX application:

1. Go to a Digital Certificate provider e.g. Identrust and acquire a Digital Certificate if you haven’t already.  From the Identrust homepage, click on Certificate>eNotary Programs>Buy Now>BlueNotary>IGC Notaries Basic Assurance>Select Year and process your request. 

2. Sign in to your BlueNotary account and upload it in the **Manage > Digital Certificates + Blockchain** section.
