I am currently active duty military and a notary public. I am relocating to another state later this year. Is my notary commission transferrable state to state?

In most states, notaries public are restricted only to statewide jurisdiction when performing notarial acts. Consult with your Jag office to determine if your military status makes you eligible to perform notarial acts pursuant to federal laws.

I am a commissioned notary and a commissioned officer in the United States Coast Guard. When I notarize documents, under which authority and office should I be notarizing?

The statutes in many states state that a commissioned officer of the United States armed forces or of a United States armed forces auxiliary may administer an oath made by a member of the armed forces, a member of an armed forces auxiliary, or a member's spouse and may give a certificate of the fact.
