| How Do I Change My Address With The Notary Office In Georgia |
It's All About the Paper Trail, Baby!
Here's the skinny: You gotta fill out a form, lick a stamp (or two, if you're feeling fancy), and get that puppy sent off to the right folks.
The Form: This little gem is called the "Georgia Notary Public Contact Information Change Form." Don't let the fancy name scare you. It's pretty straightforward. Just fill in your old digs, your new digs, and ̶y̶o̶u̶r̶ ̶f̶a̶v̶o̶r̶i̶t̶e̶ ̶i̶c̶e̶ ̶c̶r̶e̶a̶m̶ ̶f̶l̶a̶v̶o̶r̶ (they don't actually ask for that last one). You can find this form online at the Georgia Superior Court Clerks' Cooperative Authority website ([Georgia Notary Public Contact Information Change Form](link to the form on gsccca.org)).
The Send Off: Once you've filled out the form and done a happy dance because paperwork is conquered, be sure to send copies to both the Clerk of Superior Court in your original commissioning county AND the Georgia Superior Court Clerks' Cooperative Authority in Atlanta.
Pro Tip: Make sure you include a copy of your updated driver's license or ID as proof of your new address.
Still Foggy on the Details?
No sweat! We've got you covered. Here's a quick rundown:
Tip: Break down complex paragraphs step by step.
- Moved within the same county? No need to reapply, just update your address using the form.
- Moved to a different county? You're good to go until your current commission expires. Then, you'll reapply as a notary in your new county of residence.
Remember: You've got 30 days from your move to get that address change rolling. Don't be that person who misses out on sweet notary gigs because your official correspondence is on a tropical vacation (not that we'd blame the mail for wanting to escape to paradise).
