APPOINTMENT AND COMMISSION
Notaries are public officers appointed and commissioned by the Governor. You are not licensed, you are appointed. An appointment is a privilege, not a right.
The term of office is four years. Example: A commission which began on July 1, 1996 (12:01 a.m.) will end on June 30, 2000 (12:00 p.m.).
If your lawful name changes, you must request an amended commission by submitting the appropriate application form, a rider to the notary bond, and a fee. You should contact Aaron Notary for assistance. Once you make application for a change of name, you may continue notarizing in your former name until receipt of your amended commission and seal. You will be given a new commission number, but you will retain the same expiration date.
If you lose your commission certificate, you may request a duplicate from the Department of State, Bureau of Notaries Public, or from your bonding agency.
