Answer: (D)

In Connecticut, the appointment of notaries public is handled by the Secretary of the State. The secretary’s office administers the application process, issues the commission, and maintains the roster of commissioned notaries (including handling any required oath and bond). The Governor’s office, the Department of Motor Vehicles, and the Office of the Attorney General do not administer notary appointments.
