Renewal applications
Renewal applications are automatically mailed to Massachusetts notaries. They are mailed five weeks before a commission is scheduled to expire. Applications are not available online.
Notaries must provide notice of change in name or address
You have to notify the Secretary of the Commonwealth if you change your name or address (residence or business). You have to do this within ten days. If you don’t, you will not receive your renewal application. When you submit your new address, please include your current expiration date. See Revised Executive Order No. 455, § 14.
