can a new york attorney notarize a document
Notary public (New York) Notaries must be residents of the state or have a work/business address in the state.[2][3] Attorneys at law may automatically be appointed notaries simply by submitting the filing fee.[3] Someone who is a commissioner or inspector of elections may also be a notary.[4] One designated employee of the county clerk may be appointed a notary without taking the test.[5] A state legislator may also be a notary, without any conflict of interest.[6] Since the passage of the Married women's property acts in the mid-19th century, a married woman can be a notary.[3][7]
