This study investigates the distance education process in Turkey by examining how demographic characteristics relate to notary and notary employee satisfaction. A survey method is used with 317 participants who responded voluntarily via a distance education platform. Data are collected through a demographic information form and a distance education satisfaction scale. ANOVA, T-Test, Mann Whitney-U, Kruskal-Wallis, and Pearson Correlation analyze relationships across sub-factors and general satisfaction. Results show satisfaction ranges from middle to high, and factors correlate positively and significantly. Age significantly affects satisfaction, while gender, task type, work duration, number of notary employees, education level, and prior participation do not. Education content and platform interaction supported by gamification, assessment, evaluation, and certificate programs are emphasized.
