I am currently a Notary Public in Alabama and will be relocating Georgia. Will I still be able notarize documents in Georgia? — S.G., Alabama
No, you cannot notarize documents in Georgia with a Notary commission from Alabama. When you move to Georgia, you must resign your commission in Alabama and apply for a new Notary commission in Georgia.
