Part 5, Section 7
Government Employee Notaries

Some government employees are appointed as notaries by the Secretary of State’s office, when it is deemed necessary to have a notary in a particular public agency, for example, state, county, city or public school district offices. 
Government Code § 8202.5

An authorized person from the governmental agency will sign a certificate saying that the notary will be performing notarial services for that governmental agency, and after the filing of the certificate, the notary does not need to pay the state for their commission, nor do they have to pay the county for filing their oath and bond.  The governmental agency may also pay for the notary’s bond and any supplies required by the notary.

As a government employee notary, you must collect fees for every notarial act and those fees must be submitted to the governmental agency you work for. 
Government Code § 6100

Upon termination of your employment at the governmental agency, you must resign your commission.
