The Secretary of State may issue a certificate of official character for $1.
A county clerk with whom a certificate of official character is filed charges $1 for the filing.
A county clerk's certificate authenticating a notarial signature costs $3.
Every duplicate identification card must be issued without fee because it merely replaces the old card.
Correct Answer
D. Every duplicate identification card must be issued without fee because it merely replaces the old card.
AI Explanation
Replacement identification cards are not free under the statute. Executive Law §§131-133 provide $1 for issuance of a certificate of official character, $1 for filing such a certificate, and $3 for authentication of a notarial signature, while §131(13) sets a $10 nonrefundable fee for a duplicate identification card. Not to be confused with a county-clerk free notarization under County Law §534, which is a different rule entirely.
