Scope and Content: The state secretary (since 1961 through a unit currently called the Commissions Section) attests to all commissions of office signed by the governor, administering the oath of office to and/or recording the name of these and other public appointees.  In a related function, the secretary is responsible for issuing qualification certificates to nonresident clergy to perform marriages in Massachusetts pursuant to St 1926, c 102, as amended (MGLA c 207, s 39).  This register was created as the secretary’s record of such certificates issued.
