What are the procedures if a notary public changes their name during a term of office?
If a name change occurs, the notary has two options: • 1. Continue to use the former name issued on the existing commission until it expires; or • 2. Use the new name by filing a new application with the Secretary of State with a $25.00 filing fee. A new commission with a new expiration date will be established. The notary must purchase a new stamp or seal and file a new bond with the Secretary of State. In addition, the notary must submit a signed request to cancel the previous commission issued under the former name.
