There are some variances in state laws about this, but in California the
books are the property of the notary and are in no way to be considered as
part of the company or corporation. When the book is full, or the notary
gives up their commission the books are turned over to the County recorder
as they are considered state documents. It does not matter that the
organization paid for the commission and training, the commission is between
the state and the individual.

Do you all consider notary books to be a records series belonging to the
organization or just to the person who is the notary?  Would it make a
difference if the organization paid for that person to become a notary?




And if it is a record belonging to the organization, any ideas on
retention period?



Thanks in advance for any help!
