Who commissions an Ohio notary?

The Governor
The Attorney General
The Secretary of the State
The State Treasurer

The correct answer is: The Secretary of the State

In Ohio, the Secretary of State is responsible for commissioning notaries. The Secretary of State has the authority to appoint and commission individuals to act as notaries public, granting them the power to witness and authenticate documents. This role is specific to the Secretary of State and is not within the responsibilities of the Governor, Attorney General, or State Treasurer. Therefore, options A, B, and D are incorrect answers.
