Which authority can revoke a notary's commission?

The authority that can revoke a notary's commission is typically the Attorney General. This is because the Attorney General oversees the enforcement of notarial laws and ensures that notaries adhere to the legal standards set forth in their jurisdiction. The revocation process is often initiated if a notary public is found to be acting unethically or failing to comply with the state regulations governing notarial acts.

In this context, even though the local government office, state judiciary, or a notary's employer may have roles related to notarial practices, they do not possess the authority to revoke a notary's commission. The local government office may be responsible for issuing commissions, while the state judiciary might be involved in judicial matters, but it is the Attorney General who holds the power to ensure compliance and take action when necessary. A notary's employer does not have any formal jurisdiction over a notary's commission and cannot independently revoke it.
