(1) a notary public of that state;
(2) a judge, clerk, or deputy clerk of a court of that state; or
(3) any other individual authorized by the law of that state to perform the notarial act.
Subd. 2. Significance of signature and title. The signature and title of an individual performing a notarial act in another state are prima facie evidence that the signature is genuine and that the individual holds the designated title.
Subd. 3. Authority of officer established. The signature and title of a notarial officer described in subdivision 1, clause (1) or (2), conclusively establish the authority of the officer to perform the notarial act.
