Does a commission certificate need to be posted publicly?

• A. Yes, publicly posted at all times
• B. No. It must be stored safely and shown only when requested as proof of commission
• C. Yes, but only during business hours
• D. No; it must be filed with the county clerk

Answer: (B)

Your commission certificate is proof of your authority, but you don’t have to have it publicly posted at all times. The important part is to keep the certificate in a safe place and be prepared to show it when someone asks for proof of your commission. It isn’t filed with the county clerk, and there’s no requirement to display it publicly during business hours.
