Reference: CPLR §2309(d)
Source checked September 7, 2026
Correct Answer
D. The place where the oath was taken
Detailed 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.
