Marriage new last name

Hi there has anyone gone through a name change while being a notary? How long does it take companies to change it? How do we go about changing bank account names and getting checks under our old name? Help :slight_smile:

Check your notary handbook on the procedure for change of name on your commission - that’s your first step;

How long it takes a company to change the name I guess would be up to the efficiency of their record keeping and database maintenance. But as long as you can prove you’re a duly commissioned notary under your current proper name you should have no problem. Don’t forget to notify your E&O carrier.

As to the banking - check with your bank?
