What is the timeframe for a notary to notify the Attorney General of a name change?

The correct timeframe for a notary to notify the Attorney General of a name change is thirty days. This requirement is in place to ensure that the notary's records are up-to-date and to maintain the integrity of the notarial system. Notifying the Attorney General within this specific period helps to prevent any confusion or potential issues regarding the notary's identity and authority to perform notarial acts under the new name. Prompt communication of any changes is crucial for regulatory compliance and to uphold public trust in notarial services.

Other options suggest either a shorter timeframe, lack of necessity unless prompted, or no strict requirement for timing, which does not align with the statutory obligations established for notaries.
