1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the act ap-
proved March tenth, nineteen hundred and two, entitled an act requir-

hereafter taken by them upon writings which are admitted to record the
date when their terms of office shall expire, be amended and re-enacted so
as to read as follows:

Upon every certificate of acknowledgment hereafter taken by a notary
within this State to any writing there shall be written in, or annexed to,
such certificate the words following: “My term of office expires on the
day of —————,,” or words plainly showing when the term of
such notary shall expire.

In the case of any woman duly appointed a notary public in this State
who shall legally change her name, by marriage or otherwise, during her
term of office as such notary, such notary, after such change of name as
aforesaid, when taking acknowledgments or doing other acts as such
notary, shall write or have written in, or annexed to, such certificate the
words followi ing: “I was commissioned as notary as »” or
words plainly showing the name in which such commission as notary was
issued to such woman.

Any notary who shall fail to comply with the foregoing provisions of
this act shall forfeit not less thin five nor more than twenty dollars, but
any such failure shall not invalidate the certificate of acknowledgment.
