In addition to the acknowledgment of instruments in the manner and form otherwise authorized by law, any person serving in or with the armed forces of the United States and his or her spouse, may acknowledge any such instrument before any officer in active service in the armed forces of the United States with the rank of second lieutenant or higher in the Army or Marine Corps, or ensign or higher in the Navy or Coast Guard. No such instrument shall be rendered invalid by failure to state therein the place of execution or acknowledgment. No authentication of such officer's certificate of acknowledgment shall be required, but he shall endorse thereon his rank and the command to which he is attached.
