Who needs to verify that a notary public is duly commissioned for documents used outside Ohio?

The state's Department of Justice
The Clerk of Courts of the Common Pleas
The local county sheriff's office
The Department of State Affairs

The correct answer is: The Clerk of Courts of the Common Pleas

The other choices are incorrect because they do not have the authority to verify a notary public's commission status. The state's Department of Justice primarily deals with federal laws and cases, while the local county sheriff's office is responsible for maintaining law and order within their jurisdiction. The Department of State Affairs may deal with the regulation of notaries within the state of Ohio, but they do not have the specific task of verifying commission status. The only correct option is the Clerk of Courts of the Common Pleas, as they oversee legal matters within their county, including notary commissions.
