A New York notary may take acknowledgments anywhere in the State.
A New York notary may take proofs of conveyances anywhere in the State.
A notary may take acknowledgments only in the county where commissioned.
A notary may administer oaths anywhere in the State.
Correct Answer
C. A notary may take acknowledgments only in the county where commissioned.
AI Explanation
Statewide authority is broader than many test-takers remember. Executive Law §135 and the booklet’s "Special Note" explain that a notary may administer oaths, take affidavits, and take acknowledgments and proofs anywhere in New York State. Not to be confused with filing rules, which still tie the commission record to a county clerk.
