In addition to the acknowledgment of instruments and the performance of official
acts in respect to instruments in the manner and form and as otherwise authorized
by law, instruments may be acknowledged, documents attested, oaths and
affirmations administered, depositions and affidavits executed, and other such
official acts performed, before or by any commissioned officer in active service of
the Armed Forces of the United States for any person who either
(a) Is a member of the Armed Forces of the United States, or
(b) Is serving as a merchant seaman outside the limits of the United States, or
(c) Is outside said limits by permission, assignment or direction of any
department or official of the United States government.
Such acknowledgment of instruments, attestation of documents, administration of
oaths and affirmations, execution of depositions and affidavits, and performance of
other notarial acts, heretofore or hereafter made or taken, are hereby declared legal,
valid and binding, and instruments and documents so acknowledged, authenticated,
or sworn to shall be admissible in evidence and eligible to record in this state under
the same circumstances, and with the same force and effect as if such
acknowledgment, attestation, oath, affirmation, deposition, affidavit, or other
official act, had been made or taken within this state before or by a duly qualified
officer or official and under his appropriate certificate and seal of office as
otherwise provided by law.
In the taking of acknowledgments and the performing of other notarial acts
requiring certification, a certificate endorsed upon or attached to the instrument or
document, which shows the date of the notarial act and which states, in substance,
that the person appearing before the officer acknowledges the instrument as his act
or made or signed the instrument or document under oath, shall be sufficient for all
intents and purposes.
When the official signature of any such commissioned officer appears upon such
instrument, document or certificate, it shall be prima facie evidence that the person
making such oath or acknowledgment is within the purview of this section.
