a Certificate of Approval, in accordance with section (3), or a deficiency
notice, in accordance with OAR 160-100-1030, within 90 days of receipt of an
application and lesson plan.

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:

name of the approved provider as listed on the Notary Public Education Provider

(d) The date the course of study was approved

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
