The Texas notary commission number I had when I became a Texas notary previously is not the same as the notary commission number I received upon renewing my Texas notary commission. Shouldn't the numbers be the same?
Yes, your commission number as a Texas notary public should not change. If you receive a new stamp/seal and the number has changed from your previous stamp/seal; please contact our Customer Service department at 866.328.5524 to resolve the problem.
My employer paid for my notary commission and supplies, can they keep them?
No! You are a public official appointed by the Secretary of State. Your seal and certificate are tools of your public office. Even if your employer purchased your Texas notary commission and supplies, they have no legal right to keep these tools from you. Never surrender control of your Texas notary stamp and/or certificate to anyone.
