(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.
(b) 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.
