What must a notary do when changing a business address to a new county within CA?

Notify the local police department
Notify the Secretary of State of the address change
Publish a notice in the newspaper
Hold a public meeting

The correct answer is: Notify the Secretary of State of the address change

A Notifying the local police department is not necessary when changing a business address within CA. C: Publishing a notice in the newspaper is not required when changing a business address within CA. D: Holding a public meeting is not necessary when changing a business address within CA. When changing a business address to a new county within CA, a notary is required to notify the Secretary of State of the address change. This is because the Secretary of State maintains the public records for businesses in California and must be notified of any changes to a business's address. This responsibility is not delegated to the local police department, and publishing a notice in the newspaper or holding a public meeting are not required for changing a business address within the state. Therefore, the best course of action is to notify the Secretary of State to ensure that the business's records are accurately updated.
