Powers & Duties of Notary

An armed-forces officer administers an oath overseas to an enlisted service member. Under CPLR §2309(d), which item need NOT be stated in the certificate?

A

The officer's rank and serial number and command

B

The service or dependent status of the person taking the oath

C

The serial number of the person taking the oath, if that person is enlisted or commissioned

D

The place where the oath was taken

Correct Answer

D. The place where the oath was taken

AI Explanation

The statute lists several required details but dispenses with one common one. CPLR §2309(d) requires the officer's rank/serial number and command, the military or dependent status of the person, and in some cases the person's serial number; it specifically says the place where the oath is taken need not be disclosed. For contrast, ordinary venue principles still matter for most affidavits and acknowledgments.
