Who administers the oath of office to a Georgia notary?

• A. The Governor.
• B. A practicing attorney.
• C. The Notary themselves.
• D. The Clerk of Superior Court (or another authorized official) administers the oath.

Answer: (D)

In Georgia, the oath of office for a notary is administered by the Clerk of Superior Court in the county where the notary resides, or by another official authorized by law to administer oaths. This official is responsible for administering the oath and recording it in the notary’s file. The Governor handles the appointment, but the actual oath is given by the Clerk or an authorized official, not by the notary themselves or by just any attorney unless that attorney is specifically designated to administer oaths.
