The application shall be on a form prescribed by the secretary of state and shall contain an impression or image of the new seal or stamp bearing the new name of the notary public exactly as it appears on the application. Upon receipt of the completed application, the secretary of state shall issue a corrected certificate of appointment showing the notary public's new name. The commission on the corrected certificate of appointment expires on the same date as the commission on the certificate of appointment it replaces.

The notary public shall notify the surety for the notary public's bond in writing within ten days of a change of name and provide the surety with the new name of the notary public exactly as it was provided to the secretary of state. Within ten days of the notice from the notary public, the surety shall issue a rider to the notary public's bond and distribute a copy of the rider to the notary public and the secretary of state.
