Powers & Duties of Notary

For proof by a subscribing witness, what residence detail is required if the witness lives in a city?

A

Only the county of residence.

B

The witness's street and street number, if any.

C

The witness's ZIP code only.

D

No residence detail is required if the witness is sworn.

Correct Answer

B. The witness's street and street number, if any.

AI Explanation

The residence requirement becomes more specific for city witnesses. Real Property Law §304 says that a subscribing witness must state the witness's residence, and if that residence is in a city, the street and street number, if any. Not to be confused with §306, which concerns what the officer must include in the certificate after the proof is taken.
