N.Y. Public Officers Law § 10: Official oaths

§ 10. Official oaths. Every officer shall take and file the oath of

office required by law, and every judicial officer of the unified court

system, in addition, shall file a copy of said oath in the office of

court administration, before he shall be entitled to enter upon the

discharge of any of his official duties. An oath of office may be

administered by a judge of the court of appeals, the attorney general,

or by any officer authorized to take, within the state, the

acknowledgment of the execution of a deed of real property, or by an

officer in whose office the oath is required to be filed or by his duly

designated assistant, or may be administered to any member of a body of

officers, by a presiding officer or clerk, thereof, who shall have taken

an oath of office. An oath of office may be administered to any state or

local officer who is a member of the armed forces of the United States

by any commissioned officer, in active service, of the armed forces of

the United States. In addition to the requirements of any other law, the

certificate of the officer in the armed forces administering the oath of

office under this section shall state (a) the rank of the officer

administering the oath, and (b) that the person taking the oath was at

the time, enlisted, inducted, ordered or commissioned in or serving

with, attached to or accompanying the armed forces of the United States.

The fact that the officer administering the oath was at the time duly

commissioned and in active service with the armed forces, shall be

certified by the secretary of the army, secretary of the air force or by

the secretary of the navy, as the case may be, of the United States, or

by a person designated by him to make such certifications, but the place

where such oath was administered need not be disclosed. The oath of

office of a notary public or commissioner of deeds shall be filed in the

office of the clerk of the county in which he shall reside. The oath of

office of every state officer shall be filed in the office of the

secretary of state; of every officer of a municipal corporation,

including a school district, with the clerk thereof; and of every other

officer, including the trustees and officers of a public library and the

officers of boards of cooperative educational services, in the office of

the clerk of the county in which he shall reside, if no place be

otherwise provided by law for the filing thereof.
