Fees & Administrative Procedures

A notary requests a duplicate identification card after the original was lost. Which statement is most accurate?

A

The Secretary of State may issue a duplicate card for a $10 nonrefundable fee, and the card is marked "duplicate."

B

The duplicate is free if the notary also files a certificate of official character.

C

The fee is $1 because the county clerk issues the card.

D

The duplicate card carries a new commission number and a new term.

Correct Answer

A. The Secretary of State may issue a duplicate card for a $10 nonrefundable fee, and the card is marked "duplicate."

AI Explanation

Duplicate cards have their own modest fee rule. Executive Law §131(13) authorizes a duplicate identification card for a $10 nonrefundable fee and requires the word 'duplicate' across the face. Not to be confused with the $10 fee for changing name or address under §131(12).
