A nonresident nonattorney keeps an office in Albany County. Where must the oath and signature be filed?

AI Explanation

Nonresident filing follows the business location. The Introduction and Executive Law §130 state that a nonresident other than an attorney may become a notary if the person has a New York office or place of business, and the oath and signature must be filed in the county where that office or place of business is located. Unlike attorney applicants, the county is not determined by a law office residency fiction unless the statute says so.
