32-1-102. Name changes.
(a) When a notary changes surnames, the notary may continue to use the notarial commission and seal issued to the notary provided:
(i) When a notary marries or changes surnames, the notary shall file a certified copy of the certificate of marriage or order of name change in the office of the county clerk of the county where the notary resides and send a certified copy of the marriage certificate or order of name change and a three dollar ($3.00) filing fee to the secretary of state. The surname of the notary's spouse or the notary's new surname may then be added after the notary's name as it appears on the notary's commission;
(ii) When a notary divorces and the notary's previous name is restored by the court, the notary shall file a certified copy of the divorce decree in the office of the county clerk of the county where the notary resides and send a certified copy of the notary's divorce decree and a three dollar ($3.00) filing fee to the secretary of state. The notary's restored surname may then be added after the notary's name as it appears on the notary's commission.
(b) Instead of adopting the surname of the notary's spouse, a notary may continue to use or be commissioned as a notary by the name by which the notary is generally known.
