A Department of State apostille for possible international use.
A county clerk's certificate authenticating a notary's authority to act.
A duplicate identification card issued after a name change.
A form used only for wills and codicils.
Correct Answer
B. A county clerk's certificate authenticating a notary's authority to act.
AI Explanation
County-clerk certification is an authentication concept. In "Definitions and General Terms," "County Clerk's Certificate" directs the reader to "Authentication (Notarial)," meaning the certificate subjoined by a county clerk to a certificate of proof, acknowledgment, or oath to verify the authority of the notary public. See Executive Law §133. Not to be confused with an apostille, this is the county-level authentication step rather than the Department of State certificate for possible international use.
