  <level label="a">
    <text>A notarial act performed under federal law has the same effect under the laws of this State as if performed by a notarial officer of this State, if the act performed under federal law is performed by:</text>
    <level label="1">
      <text>a notary public of a court;</text>
    </level>
    <level label="2">
      <text>an individual in military service or performing duties under the authority of military service who is authorized to perform notarial acts under federal law;</text>

    <level label="3">
      <text>an individual designated a notarizing officer by the U.S. Department of State for performing notarial acts overseas; or</text>

    <level label="4">
      <text>any other individual authorized by federal law to perform the notarial act.</text>
    </level>
  </level>
  <level label="b">
    <text>The signature and title of an individual performing a notarial act under federal law are prima facie evidence that:</text>
    <level label="1">
      <text>the signature is genuine; and</text>
    </level>
    <level label="2">
      <text>the individual holds the designated title.</text>
    </level>
