If the Secretary of State changes, how long does the commission certificate remain valid?

Explanation:
In Arizona, a notary public’s commission runs for four years from the date it is issued, and changes in who holds the Secretary of State office do not shorten or invalidate that term. So the commission certificate remains valid for four years regardless of changes in who is Secretary. After that four-year period, renewal is needed to continue serving. The other options don’t fit because the term length isn’t two years, and the term isn’t open-ended until a renewal—it's a fixed four-year period.
