To become a Connecticut Notary Public you must be at least eighteen years of age and either reside within Connecticut or have a primary place of business within the state. For further information see 'Changes of Name & Address' below. As a consequence, the notary's term may expire.
If a particular notary public fails to record changes of address, it will be unlikely that they will receive the renewal application. Renewal applications are mailed three months in advance of the expiration date to the address recorded in the CT Notary Public Database. Notaries in the State of Connecticut are appointed for terms of five (5) years which expire on the last day of the month in which the notary was originally appointed.
