New York State Notary Practice Exam Prep & Practice Test

In New York, when you’re commissioned as a Notary Public, you must file a Certificate of Official Character with the county clerk in your county of residence. The county clerk processes and records this document, and the filing incurs a fixed administrative charge. The current amount you’d pay for filing is ten dollars. This fee is set by the county clerk’s schedule and is not related to any other notarial costs. The other dollar amounts listed aren’t the standard filing fee for this certificate.
