file your amended oath and bond within the 30-day time limit, the name change will
become void and your commission will revert back to the previous name and you will
be required to submit another name change application. (Government Code sections
8213 and 8213.6)
Q. I need to request a new certificate of authorization to have a new stamp made. Is there
a fee?
A. No; however, you must send the Secretary of State a written request for a certificate of
authorization. (Government Code section 8207.3(e))
Q. How do I resign my commission?
A. If you want to resign your commission, send a letter to our office and deliver all of your
notarial journals, records and papers to the county clerk in which your current oath of
office is on file within 30 days and destroy the seal. (Government Code section 8209)
Q. I did not file my oath and bond on time, what do I do?
A. If you failed to file your oath and bond within the prescribed time, your commission is
void. (Government Code section 8213(a)) If you wish to reapply, you must complete
a new application, attach your Proof of Completion to the application and send it to our
office with a check for $20.00. If you do not have your Proof of Completion, contact
the vendor who provided the education to obtain a duplicate of your Proof of Completion.
Keep in mind that the test results are only valid for one year from the date of the
examination; and that the Proof of Completion of an approved course of study is valid
for two years from the date of issuance.
(California Code of Regulations sections
20803 and 20800.5)

expire until another four months. When will I receive my new commission?
A. Although you have already completed the education and taken the test, your commission
for reappointment will not be issued until 30 days prior to the expiration date of your
current commission.
