OUR COMMITMENT TO NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED CREDENTIALING STANDARDS
Aligning AGNP With the Institute for Credentialing Excellence (I.C.E.) and the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA)
The American Guild of Notaries Public was founded on a simple but bold promise: to ensure that notarial professionalism is recognized, respected, and trusted nationwide. To honor that promise, AGNP is committed to building a credentialing program that meets the highest national and international standards for certification excellence.
That is why AGNP is partnering with the Institute for Credentialing Excellence (I.C.E.) to pursue independent program accreditation through the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA) — the nation’s premier authority for certification program quality.
AGNP is committed to achieving NCCA accreditation.
