(a) If a notary public adopts a name different from that which the notary public used at the time the notary public was commissioned, before the notary public provides a signature to any record that the notary public is authorized or required to sign as a notary public, the notary public shall make, sign, and file a statement in writing and under oath, on a form prescribed and furnished online at www.nj.gov/njbgs by the State Treasurer, setting forth the circumstances under which the notary public has adopted the new name.

(b) The statement shall state whether the new name has been adopted through marriage or civil union or by a change of name proceeding or otherwise, and such other information as the State Treasurer shall require. Such statement, or a certified copy, shall be evidence of the right of the notary public to continue to exercise the powers and privileges and perform the duties of a notary public in the changed or new name.
