Correct Answer

D. The applicant must file a county-clerk authentication certificate with the registration.

Detailed Explanation

Registration does not require county-clerk authentication. Executive Law §135-c(3)(b) lists the registration items: current commissioned name and address, commission expiration and signature, email address, description of the electronic technology, and an exemplar of the electronic signature. For contrast, authentication under Executive Law §133 is a separate county-clerk certificate for particular notarized acts.
