The notice of change in address or number must be received by the clerk within how many days?

• A. 15 days
• B. 60 days
• C. 30 days
• D. 90 days

Answer: (C)

Keeping the clerk informed of a change in address or phone number is about keeping official records accurate for a notary. In Georgia, a notary public must file a notice with the clerk of the superior court in the county where the commission is recorded within thirty days of any change in address or telephone number. This keeps the public record current so notices and communications can reach the notary, and it helps maintain the integrity of the notarization process. The notice should include the notary’s name on the commission and the old and new contact information. Report changes promptly to ensure the clerk can update the file and keep official records reliable.
