WHO PAYS FOR THE COST OF THE APPLICATIONS FOR A NOTARY PUBLIC, AND THEN IF A NAME CHANGE IS NEEDED WHO PAYS THAT COST?

The State Agency can only pay $11 for an employee to become a notary. This is the entire fee for a Notary without bond, or a partial fee for a Notary with Bond (The employee would be responsible for the SOS’s bond filing fee of $10 and the bond itself of $50 if they choose to be bonded). State Agencies are not prohibited from paying the Secretary of State’s name change fee. However, it should be noted, the name change procedure is optional. The notary public may continue to sign the name that is shown on their commission until that commission expires and change their name when they renew their term. See instructions on the back of the name change form(s) – #2305 (S.O.S. website) or #2305A (MS Word).
