Required Commission Updates

(Ohio Revised Code 147.05)

Non-attorney and attorney notaries public are required to update their commission with the Secretary of State’s office within 30 days if the following information changes:

  • Legal Name Change

  • Address Change

You may file an amendment online to update the name and/or address information.

All disciplinary and renewal notices are mailed to the address on record, so it is essential to have a current name and address on record.

Failure to make the required commission updates may result in disciplinary action against the notary public’s commission.
