Opinion No. 39-3151
May 27, 1939
TO: Mr. J. B. Woodall, H. Caldwell Motor Company, Belen, New Mexico.
{*53} Your request to this office for an opinion as to whether or not a new seal is necessary when a notary public moves from one county to another duly acknowledged.
This office in May, 1912, rendered Opinion No. 892, in which it decided that a notary public may use his seal and take acknowledgments, administer oaths, etc., in any county in the state; that there is no statutory provision as to what the seal shall contain, and that it is not necessary for a notary public to obtain a new seal upon removal from the county to which he was appointed to another county.
As the laws relating to notaries public has not been amended since that date, I see no occasion to change the ruling of this opinion.
