§ 32-3-108 — Notarial acts under federal authority

(a) A notarial act, including the acknowledgment of any
deed, mortgage or conveyance, performed under federal law has
the same effect under the law of this state as if performed by a
notarial officer of this state, if the act performed under
federal law is performed by:
(i) A judge, clerk or deputy clerk of a court;
(ii) An individual in military service or performing
duties under the authority of military service who is authorized
to perform notarial acts under federal law;
(iii) An individual designated a notarizing officer
by the United States Department of State for performing notarial
acts overseas; or
(iv) Any other individual authorized by federal law
to perform the notarial act.
(b) The signature and title of an individual acting under
federal authority and performing a notarial act are prima facie
evidence that the signature is genuine and that the individual
holds the designated title.
(c) The signature and title of an officer described in
paragraphs (a)(i) through (iii) of this section conclusively
establish the authority of the officer to perform the notarial
act.
