File a certificate of official character and autograph signature with that county clerk.
Retake the written exam in the second county.
Apply for a second commission from the Secretary of State.
Obtain judicial approval before notarizing there.
Correct Answer
A. File a certificate of official character and autograph signature with that county clerk.
AI Explanation
Cross-county authentication is handled by filing, not by getting a second commission. Executive Law §132 and the booklet introduction explain that a notary may file an autograph signature and certificate of official character in another county. For contrast, the notary’s jurisdiction is already statewide under Executive Law §135; the extra filing mainly helps later county-clerk authentication.
