An applicant who is not an attorney and not a qualifying Unified Court System court clerk wants a commission. In addition to the application, oath, signature, and fee, what document must ordinarily accompany the filing?

Detailed Explanation

The ordinary path still requires proof of passing the examination. The booklet introduction states that, in addition to the application form and fee, the applicant must submit a “pass slip” showing that he or she has taken and passed the notary public examination, unless a statutory exam exemption applies. For contrast, a county clerk authentication certificate under Executive Law §133 is used for authenticating notarial acts, not for applying for a commission.
