Appointment & Qualifications

Which county clerk receives a nonresident notary's oath and signature?

A

The clerk of Albany County in all cases.

B

The clerk of the county where the office or place of business is located.

C

The clerk of any county chosen by the applicant.

D

The clerk of the county where the exam was taken.

Correct Answer

B. The clerk of the county where the office or place of business is located.

Detailed Explanation

Filing location follows the business office for nonresidents. The booklet introduction states that nonresidents other than attorneys who have offices or places of business in New York may become notaries, and the oath and signature must be filed in the office of the county clerk of the county where that office or place of business is located. Unlike resident notaries, this filing is keyed to the New York business location rather than residence.
