§ 5374. Notarial act in another state
(a) A notarial act performed in another state has the same effect under the law of this
State as if performed by a notary public of this State, if the act performed in that
state is performed by:
(1) a notary public of that state;
(2) a judge, clerk, or deputy clerk of a court of that state; or
(3) any other individual authorized by the law of that state to perform the notarial act.
(b) If a deed or other conveyance or a power of attorney for the conveyance of land, the
acknowledgment or proof of which is taken out of State, is certified agreeably to
the laws of the state in which the acknowledgment or proof is taken, it shall be valid
as though it were taken before a proper officer in this State.
(c) An acknowledgment for a deed or other conveyance or a power of attorney for the conveyance
of land that is taken out of State before a proper officer of this State shall be
valid as if taken within this State.
(d) The signature and title of an individual performing a notarial act in another state
are prima facie evidence that the signature is genuine and that the individual holds
the designated title.
(e) The signature and title of a notarial officer described in subdivision (a)(1) or (2)
of this section conclusively establish the authority of the officer to perform the
notarial act. (Added 2017, No. 160 (Adj. Sess.), § 1, eff. July 1, 2019.)
