What must happen for an applicant to be appointed as a notary public in Connecticut?

• A. Submit a written essay
• B. Obtain a letter of recommendation from an attorney
• C. Provide a business license
• D. Answer all exam questions correctly

Answer: (D)

The main idea being tested is the proof of sufficient knowledge and readiness to perform notarial duties through the appointment process. In Connecticut, becoming a notary public relies on demonstrating that you’ve mastered the rules and responsibilities of notarial acts, typically by completing the required exam. The best answer is that you must answer all exam questions correctly because doing so shows you fully understand the material and are prepared to carry out notarial duties accurately and ethically. The other options—submitting an essay, getting a letter of recommendation from an attorney, or providing a business license—aren’t part of the standard appointment steps and don’t serve as direct evidence of your ability to act as a notary.
