I had the same issue the first time I did my renewal. The second time I renewed I was out of town and had to drive all over the place to find a Notary. I think they need to make a better effort to inform the users about the leg work required once the course is completed. The AOPA FIRC isn't bad. But they do have some bugs in the system, the quizzes for example will sometimes list the same question twice.
