70 year old advocate wants to become notary public

Recently I attained the age of 70 years. Although I became an advocate in 1992 but left the law practice in 1996. Again rejoined general law practice in 2014 and am working full time now. Can I apply for to become a Notary Public to keep the food on the table?
