What should you do if you resign a position with your employer as a notary?

Destroy your notary seal
Notify the Secretary of State
Keep your notary journal for personal records
Do nothing

The correct answer is: Notify the Secretary of State

Resigning a position as a notary means that you are no longer authorized to notarize documents on behalf of your employer. Therefore, it is important to notify the Secretary of State, which is the governing body that issued your notary commission. This ensures that they are aware of your change in employment and can update their records accordingly. Option A is incorrect because you should not destroy your notary seal, as it may be needed for future notarizations. Option C is incorrect because your notary journal should be turned in to your employer or the Secretary of State when you resign. Option D is incorrect because even though you are not actively notarizing, the status of your notary commission still needs to be updated with the Secretary of State. Therefore, it is important to notify them.
