When a notary public changes their name or address, the notary shall notify ONCA of such change on forms prescribed by ONCA within fifteen (15) business days.
A name change notification must be accompanied by a bond rider from the bonding company amending the notary bond and duplicate notary commission certificate showing the new name. ONCA will not impose a fee for a name or an address change and will not issue a new notary commission certificate.
A notary public that submits a name change notification shall order a new seal with the new name and provide ONCA with an impression of the seal. In the case of an electronic notary, the person shall provide an exemplar of the electronic seal.
