When you resign a commission, you must deliver all of your papers to which office or record location?
Resigning a commission requires delivering papers to the Secretary of State's office, not the county clerk.
Government Code section 8209 requires a resigning notary to deliver all notarial records and papers within 30 days to the county clerk where the current official oath and bond are on file. That filing location controls the transfer of custody, so the records go to the clerk of the county tied to the active commission record, not to a different county office.
Resigning a commission requires delivering papers to the Secretary of State's office, not archives.
Resignation papers must be delivered to the county clerk's office, not the notary association.
Explanation
When a commission is resigned, all papers must be delivered to the clerk of the county where the current official oath of office is on file. Government Code section 8209 says that all notarial records and papers shall be delivered within 30 days to that clerk.
