I have had my Notary Public Commission form notarized. Do I need to send it somewhere? — C.A., Texas
The oath of office is included on your Notary commission. Once you have taken the oath of office before another Notary you may begin performing notarizations. The oath of office does not need to be sent anywhere once it has been completed – it is yours to keep for your records.
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
