Which of the following is NOT a requirement for a notary who changes their name?

A notary who changes their name must adhere to specific requirements to ensure their official capacity remains valid and recognized. Receiving confirmation from the Attorney General and obtaining a new seal with the updated name are both essential steps in the process as they maintain the legal integrity and identification of the notary’s official functions. Additionally, sending notice of both the old and new name to the Attorney General ensures that the state is informed of the notary’s updated identity, which is vital for legal documentation and verification purposes.

In contrast, publishing the name change in a local newspaper is not a requirement for notaries in Guam, making it the correct choice as the option that does not conform to the established requirements. Such a public announcement is not necessary for the recognition of the name change in the official capacity of the notary, focusing instead on the procedural updates needed directly with the Attorney General's office and through the seal amendment.
