So, you've finally reached the end of your notary journey. Maybe you're retiring, moving to a tropical island, or simply tired of being the neighborhood document-stamper.

Where to Send Your Ex-Journal
In the magical land of Los Angeles County, there are two main ways to bid adieu to your notary journal:
- In Person: Fancy a trip to the county clerk's office? You're welcome to drop off your journal there. Just make sure to bring your ID and a check for the surrender fee. It's like returning a library book, but with less judgment.
- Mail it In: Feeling lazy or socially anxious? No problem! You can also mail your journal to the county clerk. Just make sure it's securely packaged and you get a return receipt. Because, let's face it, losing your notary journal is about as fun as losing your car keys.
Tips for a Smooth Breakup
- Fill Out the First Page: Before you send your journal packing, make sure to fill out the first page with your notary information. This helps the county keep track of things. It's like writing a little goodbye note.
- Keep a Copy: While you don't need to keep the entire journal, make copies of any important entries. You never know when you might need to reference that time you notarized a pet hamster's will.
- Destroy Your Stamp: Once your journal is gone, it's time to say goodbye to your notary stamp. Don't just throw it away - destroy it! You don't want any imposters running around signing stuff in your name.
