Sec. 92.12  Necessity for certification of notarial acts.

    A notarizing officer must execute a written certificate attesting to 
the performance of a notarial act. This certificate may be inserted on 
or appended to the notarized document (see Sec. 92.17 regarding the 
fastening of sheets). The certificate evidences the performance of the 
notarial act. Failure to execute this certificate renders the notarial 
act legally ineffective. Each notarial act should be evidenced by a 
separate certificate; two or more distinct notarial acts should not be 
attested to by one certificate.
