(TCA
8-18-101). All notaries must be a resident of the county, or have their principal place of
business in the county from which they were elected. If an individual has his principal
place of business in any county in the state of Tennessee, he shall be eligible for
election as a notary at large, although he may reside in a state other than Tennessee
(TCA
8-16-101).

All individuals meeting these qualifications are
eligible for election as a notary public at large except the following persons:
- Those who have been convicted of offering or giving a bribe, or of larceny, or any other
offense declared infamous by law, unless restored to citizenship in the mode pointed out
by law;
- Those against whom there is a judgment unpaid for any moneys received by them, in any
official capacity, due to the United States, to this state, or any county of this state;
- Those who are defaulters to the treasury at the time of the election, and the election
of any such person shall be void;
- Soldiers, sailors, marines, or airmen in the regular army or navy or air force of the
United States; and
- Members of congress, and persons holding any office of profit or trust under any foreign
power, other state of the union, or under the United States. (8-18-101).
