Title 4: JUDICIARY
Chapter 22: UNIFORM RECOGNITION OF ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ACT (HEADING: PL 1969, c. 364 (new))
§1012. Authentication of authority of officer
1. Proof. If the notarial act is performed by any of the persons described in section 1011, subsections 1 to 4, other than a person
authorized to perform notarial acts by the laws or regulations of a foreign country, the signature, rank or title and serial
number, if any, of the person are sufficient proof of the authority of a holder of that rank or title to perform the act.
Further proof of his authority is not required.
[1969, c. 364 (new).]
2. --other. If the notarial act is performed by a person authorized by the laws or regulations of a foreign country to perform the act,
there is sufficient proof of the authority of that person to act if:
A. Either a foreign service officer of the United States resident in the country in which the act is performed or a diplomatic
or consular officer of the foreign country resident in the United States certifies that a person holding that office is authorized
to perform the act;
[1969, c. 364 (new).]
B. The official seal of the person performing the notarial act is affixed to the document; or
[1969, c. 364 (new).]
C. The title and indication of authority to perform notarial acts of the person appears either in a digest of foreign law or
in a list customarily used as a source of such information.
[1969, c. 364 (new).]
[1969, c. 364.]
3. --other persons. If the notarial act is performed by a person other than one described in subsections 1 and 2, there is sufficient proof of
the authority of that person to act if the clerk of a court of record in the place in which the notarial act is performed
certifies to the official character of that person and to his authority to perform the notarial act.
[1969, c. 364 (new).]
4. Signature and title. The signature and title of the person performing the act are prima facie evidence that he is a person with the designated
title and that the signature is genuine.
