PART 92_NOTARIAL AND RELATED SERVICES--Table of Contents

 

Sec.  92.12  Necessity for certification of notarial acts.



    A notarizing officer must execute a written certificate attesting to 

the performance of a notarial act. This certificate may be inserted on 

or appended to the notarized document (see Sec.  92.17 regarding the 

fastening of sheets). The certificate evidences the performance of the 

notarial act. Failure to execute this certificate renders the notarial 

act legally ineffective. Each notarial act should be evidenced by a 

separate certificate; two or more distinct notarial acts should not be 

attested to by one certificate.
