How 101PD can become authorized

Training may explain California statutes and county registration steps. The applicant must register with the proper county clerk and independently satisfy bonding, identification, experience, and renewal requirements.

Non-substitution boundary

What online training cannot replace

Training is not county registration and does not authorize legal advice, representation, document selection, or any service reserved to attorneys. The two registrations have distinct scopes.
