Appointment & Qualifications 2026 Law Update

A new notary public identification card is transmitted after appointment. Under Executive Law §131, which information must the card indicate?

A

Only the notary's name and official number.

B

The appointee's name, address, county, and commission term.

C

The appointee's Social Security number and county clerk file number.

D

Only the commission expiration date and exam score.

Correct Answer

B. The appointee's name, address, county, and commission term.

Detailed Explanation

The identification card has a specific statutory content list. Executive Law §131(4) states that the notary public identification card transmitted to the appointee shall indicate the appointee's name, address, county, and commission term. Unlike the separate oath-and-signature filing requirements, this card is an identification record rather than the document that creates the commission.
