1. (a) A notarial act performed in another state is presumed valid and has the same effect as a notarial act performed by a notarial officer of Indiana if the notarial act performed in the other state is performed by:

   1. (1) a notary public of the other state;
   2. (2) a judge, clerk, or deputy clerk of the other state; or
   3. (3) any other individual authorized by the law of the other state to perform notarial acts.

2. (b) The signature and title of an individual performing a notarial act in another state is prima facie evidence of the fact that:

   1. (1) the signature is genuine; and
   2. (2) the individual holds the designated title.
3. (c) The signature of a notarial officer described in subsection (a)(1) or (a)(2) conclusively establishes the authority of the notarial officer to perform the notarial act.
