Notary Public Oaths
Every notary public must file an official bond and an oath of office in the office of the county clerk within 30 days of appointment. The county clerk will retain the oath of office for one year following the expiration of the term of the commission
If a notary public transfers from one county to another, the notary public may file a new oath of office and bond, or a duplicate of the original bond with the county clerk.
If a notary public submits an application for a name change to the Secretary of State, the notary public must, within 30 days from the date an amended commission is issued, file a new oath of office and an amendment to the bond with the county clerk.
If any notary public resigns, is disqualified, removed from office, or allows his or her appointment to expire without obtaining reappointment within 30 days, all notarial records and papers must be delivered within 30 days to the county clerkâs office.
The fee to take the oath is $29.00 and is made payable to the Marin County Clerk. A standard format bond requires a recording fee of $15.00 payable to the Marin County Recorder. These fees may be paid in cash or by two checks. Two receipts will be issued. Office hours are 9:00-4:00 Monday through Friday.
