True or False: A notary must change their notary name if they adopt their spouse's last name.

  1. True

  2. False

  3. Only if they choose to

  4. Only if their spouse requests it

The correct answer is: False

A notary does not have to change their notary name if they adopt their spouse's last name. The name associated with the notary license must match the name on the notary's official identification, which typically is the name that appears on the notary application. If a notary chooses to adopt a new last name, they can continue to operate under their original name unless they formally change their name with the relevant state office. This means that the notary has the option to keep their original name without any obligation to change it, thus supporting the idea that it is false that a name change is mandatory in this scenario.
