True
False

Depends on previous notary experience

The correct answer is: False

The statement that an expired commission allows for unlimited time to submit a new application is false. In most jurisdictions, including Utah, there are specific time frames and procedures that a notary must follow once their commission has expired. Typically, notaries do not have the allowance of unlimited time to submit a new application after their commission expires. When a notary's commission expires, they must act promptly to reapply for their commission to continue performing notarial acts legally. Each state has its own rules regarding the grace periods or conditions that may apply when a notary's commission expires, but generally, it's not an open-ended timeframe. Understanding this aspect is crucial for notaries to remain compliant with the law and to ensure they can continue to provide notarial services without interruption. This knowledge also reinforces the importance of keeping track of one's commission expiration and planning for renewal in advance.
