Which of the following must be complied with for becoming a notary?

Obtain a license from the state
Pass a background check
Comply with Department of State requirements
Be over 35 years old

The correct answer is: Comply with Department of State requirements

To become a notary in Pennsylvania, it is essential to comply with the Department of State requirements as they outline the qualifications, application processes, and regulatory obligations that prospective notaries must meet. This includes certification of training, completion of the application, and adherence to any continuing education requirements. While obtaining a license from the state is part of the broader process, it is specifically the compliance with the Department of State's detailed requirements that encompasses all necessary obligations for becoming a notary. Similarly, passing a background check is often a standard part of many licensing requirements; however, it is one component of the broader compliance mandate. The stipulation regarding age, specifically being over 35 years old, does not relate to the general requirements for becoming a notary, as the minimum age requirement is typically 18 years old. Therefore, adherence to the comprehensive requirements set forth by the Department of State is the correct focus for this question.
