Authentications confirm the appointment and term of a Connecticut notary public.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only the appointment date
• D. Only if performed by the Secretary of the State

Answer: (A)

The key idea is that authentication certificates verify a notary’s authority. In Connecticut, when a document needs to be presented to a foreign country or authority, an authentication can be attached to confirm that the notary’s commission is valid. This means the certificate shows the notary was properly appointed and that their commission is in effect for the stated term. It’s not limited to just the appointment date, and it’s typically issued by the state’s official office. So authentications do indeed confirm both the appointment and the term of a Connecticut notary public.
