arizona: I just moved to the state of California and currently hold an Arizona Notary Republic. I need to know the steps to transfer it over to California. I just renewed my Notary in January of this year and have it for four years.|||You are the notary. The appointment from the state making you a notary is called the commission or the license (depending on the state). Notary commissions can't be transferred, you will have to get a new California commission. You will also have to notify Arizona of your new address. You will have to check the Arizona law to see if you can keep the Arizona commission.|||Notary PUBLIC...you're not a country. You just have to apply to be a notary in CA. It's usually the state senator that approves it and it's issued by county. Call your county offices and ask what you need to do to become a notary. The fact that you are one where you used to live is moot.|||You have to take the California exam for notary public in this state. http://www.sos.ca.gov/business/notary/
