I have a question regarding my Notary stamp. I currently have a Washington state Notary commission. I am going to be moving to Kentucky but still working for the same company in Washington. Currently, I am notarizing billing paperwork for the same individual every day. Will I have to get a Kentucky Notary commission, or can I continue to use my Washington state commission? — A. K., Washington
If you move to Kentucky and notarize documents in Kentucky, you must apply for a Kentucky Notary Commission. You may not use the Washington Commission while in Kentucky.
For more information, please see our article and video on notarizing in other states and countries.
Hotline answers are based on the laws in the state where the question originated and may not reflect the laws of other states. If in doubt, always refer to your own state statutes. – The Editors
