Within how many days must you send a written notice of seal loss to the Clerk of S.C. and copy to the GA S.C.C.C.A.?

• A. 5 days
• B. 60 days
• C. 10 days
• D. 30 days

Answer: (C)

Prompt reporting of a lost notary seal is required. In Georgia, you must send a written notice within ten days of discovering the loss to the Clerk of the Superior Court in the county where you are commissioned, and you must also send a copy to the Georgia Superior Court Clerks' Cooperative Authority (GSCCCA). This swift notice helps prevent unauthorized use of the seal and keeps official records accurate. The notice should identify you (name and commission details), the date of discovery, and a description of the seal; include any steps you’re taking to replace it and keep proof of mailing.
