Correct Answer
A. The notary's official number.
Detailed Explanation
Part 182 adds a specific identification requirement. 19 NYCRR §182.3(a)(4) states that, when an instrument requires an oath or affirmation, the notary must include and affix the notary's official number regardless of county of qualification. For contrast, a certificate of official character under Executive Law §132 is a separate document used only when needed.
