To whom does a notary report if they wish to renew their commission?

A notary in New Jersey must report to the New Jersey Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services when wishing to renew their commission. This division is responsible for overseeing notary public commissions, including the application and renewal processes. By directing renewal applications to the Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services, the state ensures that all notaries meet the required criteria and that their records are accurately maintained.

While other entities like the Secretary of State, County Clerk, or Governor's Office play roles in different governmental functions, they are not the correct points of contact for notary commission renewals. The Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services specifically handles the regulatory aspects associated with notary public services, making it the appropriate authority for renewal matters.
