Correct Answer
C. Any current notary may perform electronic acts without separate registration.
Detailed Explanation
Electronic authority requires a separate registration step. 19 NYCRR §§182.10(b) and 182.11(b) require registration before any electronic act and set the registration fee at $60, while §182.10(c) allows reappointment within ninety days of expiration. Unlike a paper-only commission, electronic authority does not arise automatically from simply holding a current notary commission.
