I am not aware of how it works in other states but in CA a newly commissioned notary must be sworn in at the County Clerk-Recorder's office in the county in which they will be conducting most of their business.
Once a notary is sworn in they are to sign their signature the way they will be signing as a notary. Over the term of a notary's commission a notary may forget this fact and mistakenly change their signature.
A notary may only become aware that they have changed their signature when a document they have notarized is rejected for recording or their signature cannot be authenticated because they have changed their signature.
In order to avoid any problems or delays be sure your notary signature is consistent with what is on file with the County Recorder.

My signature varies sooo much sometimes... I guess I need to practice to keep it more consistent. Great piece BTW :-)
Thanks for your comment, Amber. I also used to frequently change my signature. I'm shocked none of my documents got rejected for recording!
