Appointment & Qualifications

What must accompany a notary application or reappointment application under Executive Law §131?

A

Only the $15 exam fee

B

The oath of office, duly executed, together with the applicant’s signature

C

A certificate of official character from the county clerk

D

An authentication certificate from the Secretary of State

Correct Answer

B. The oath of office, duly executed, together with the applicant’s signature

AI Explanation

Application paperwork includes more than money. Executive Law §131 requires the oath of office, duly executed before a person authorized to administer an oath, together with the applicant’s signature. For contrast, a certificate of official character comes later under §132 and is not an application prerequisite.
