Each notarial act shall be evidenced by a certificate. The certificate shall: be executed contemporaneously with the performance of the notarial act; be signed and dated by the notarial officer and, if the notarial officer is a notary public, be signed in the same manner as on file with the clerk of the circuit court for the county in which the notary public resides or was qualified; identify the jurisdiction in which the notarial act is performed; contain the title of office of the notarial officer; and if the notarial officer is a notary public, indicate the date of expiration, if any, of the notarial officer’s commission. If a notarial act regarding a tangible record is performed by a notary public, the notary public shall affix an official stamp to or emboss an official stamp on the certificate. If a notarial act is performed regarding a tangible record by a notarial officer other than a notary public, the notarial officer may affix an official stamp to or emboss an official stamp on the certificate. If a notarial act regarding an electronic record is performed by a notarial officer, the notarial officer may attach an official stamp to or logically associate an official stamp with the certificate. A certificate of a notarial act is sufficient if it meets the requirements of subsections (a) and (b) of this section and: is in a short form provided in § 18–216 of this subtitle; is in a form otherwise allowed by the laws of this State; is in a form allowed by the laws applicable in the jurisdiction in which the notarial act was performed; or sets forth the actions of the notarial officer and the actions are sufficient to meet the requirements of the laws of the State. By executing a certificate of a notarial act, a notarial officer certifies that the notarial officer has complied with §§ 18–203, 18–204, and 18–205, and, if applicable, § 18–214 of this subtitle. A notarial officer may not affix the notarial officer’s signature to, or logically associate it with, a certificate until the notarial act has been performed. If a notarial act is performed regarding a tangible record, a certificate shall be part of, or securely attached to, the record. If a notarial act is performed regarding an electronic record, the certificate shall be affixed to, or logically associated with, the electronic record. If the Secretary of State has adopted regulations under § 18–222 of this subtitle to establish standards for attaching, affixing, or logically associating the certificate, the notarial officer shall use a process for attaching, affixing, or logically associating the certificate that conforms to the standards.
