PA - Other Information of Interest
A Pennsylvania notary only has five days to notify the Secretary of the Commonwealth and recorder of deeds of a change in address. The state's official text regarding this matter is:

(a) In the event of any change of address within the Commonwealth, notice in writing or electronically shall be given the Secretary of the Commonwealth and the recorder of deeds of the county of original appointment by a notary public within (5) days of such a change. For the purpose of this subsection, "address" means office address. A notary public vacates his office by removing the notary's residence and business address from the Commonwealth, and such removal shall constitute a resignation from the office of notary public as of the date of the removal.

(b) If the notary public neither resides nor works in the Commonwealth, that notary public shall be deemed to have resigned from the office of notary public as of the date the residency ceases or employment within the Commonwealth terminates. A notary public who resigns that notary's commission in accordance with this subsection shall notify the Secretary of the Commonwealth in writing of the effective date of the resignation.
