Source excerpt

A notarial act done in another state is recognized in this State if it is performed by an authorized notary, court judge/clerk/deputy clerk, or another person authorized by that state’s law.

1. Notarial acts in other states recognized. A notarial act performed in another state has the same effect under the laws of this State as if performed by a notarial officer of this State, if the act performed in that state is performed by: A. A notary public of that state; [PL 2021, c. 651, Pt. A, §4 (NEW); PL 2021, c. 651, Pt. A, §8 (AFF).] B. A judge, clerk or deputy clerk of a court of that state; or [PL 2021, c. 651, Pt. A, §4 (NEW); PL 2021, c. 651, Pt. A, §8 (AFF).] C. Any other individual authorized by the laws of that state to perform the notarial act. [PL 2021, c. 651, Pt. A, §4 (NEW); PL 2021, c. 651, Pt. A, §8 (AFF).] [PL 2021, c. 651, Pt. A, §4 (NEW); PL 2021, c. 651, Pt. A, §8 (AFF).] 2. Prima facie evidence. 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. [PL 2021, c. 651, Pt. A, §4 (NEW); PL 2021, c. 651, Pt. A, §8 (AFF).] 3. Signature and title conclusive. The signature and title of a notarial officer described in subsection 1, paragraph A or B conclusively establish the authority of the officer to perform the notarial act. [PL 2021, c. 651, Pt. A, §4 (NEW); PL 2021, c. 651, Pt. A, §8 (AFF).]
