The Agency of the State that will give you the new certificate as a Notary Public is the

  1. Department of State

  2. Secretary of State

  3. Notary Public Commission

  4. Office of Regulatory Affairs

The correct answer is: Secretary of State

The Agency of the State that will give you the new certificate as a Notary Public is the Secretary of State. This is because the Secretary of State is responsible for overseeing the appointment and regulation of notaries public in most states. They maintain records and issue commissions for notaries, making them the most relevant agency for obtaining a new certificate as a notary public. Option A, the Department of State, is not necessarily incorrect as some states may refer to their Secretary of State as the Department of State. However, this name is not commonly used for this agency. Option C, the Notary Public Commission, is not a specific agency that would issue a certificate as a notary public. While a commission may be required for becoming a notary, it is typically issued by a state agency such as the Secretary of State. Option D, the Office of Regulatory Affairs, is also not directly involved
