Sec.  92.14  Venue on notarial certificates.



    (a) The term venue means the place where the certificate is 

executed. The venue must be shown on all notarial certificates to 

establish the qualifications and sphere of authority of the notarizing 

officer to perform the notarial act. The items characteristic of a 

typical venue, in the order of their appearance in the certificate, are 

as follows:

    (1) Name of the country (or dominion, Territory, colony, island, as 

appropriate);

    (2) Name of province or major administrative region (if none, this 

may be omitted);

    (3) Name of local community (city, town, or village);

    (4) Name of the Foreign Service post.

    (b) When a notarial act is performed, and the notarial certificate 

executed, at a locality in a consular district other than the locality 

in which the Foreign Service office is situated, the venue should 

mention only the name of the country (or dominion, territory, colony, 

island, as appropriate), and the name of the consular district.

    (c) The venue used at a Foreign Service post which has not been 

officially designated as an embassy, legation, consulate general, 

consulate, or consular agency should bear the notation ``American 

Consular Service'' in place of the post name.
