Correct Answer
A. Certificate of official character — $1; authentication certificate — $3; ordinary oath — $2
Detailed Explanation
New York fee matching is a classic trap. Executive Law §§132, 133, and 136 set the certificate of official character at $1, the county-clerk authentication certificate at $3, and an ordinary oath or affirmation at $2. For contrast, Public Officers Law §69 makes certain official oaths free, so “ordinary oath” should not be confused with an oath of office.
