The Secretary of State collects $1 for each certificate of official character issued by that office.
Filing a certificate of official character with a county clerk or register carries a $1 charge.
A county clerk’s authentication certificate under Executive Law §133 costs $2.
The schedule of fees in the booklet separately lists an authentication certificate and a certificate of official character.
Correct Answer
C. A county clerk’s authentication certificate under Executive Law §133 costs $2.
AI Explanation
Authentication and official-character fees are different numbers. Executive Law §§132-133 and the booklet’s schedule of fees show $1 for issuance or filing of a certificate of official character, but $3 for an authentication certificate. Not to be confused with the $2 fees for ordinary oaths, acknowledgments, proofs, or swearing a witness.
