AI Summary
- Georgia state agencies must accept documents notarized in another state, territory, U.S. possession, or the District of Columbia, provided the notarization method and the notarial officer are authorized under that jurisdiction's law and the officer's signature and title are attached to the document.
- The signature and title of an out-of-state notarial officer constitute prima-facie evidence that the signature is genuine, the individual holds the designated title, and had authority to perform the act.
- Documents notarized in another state and accepted under these provisions are declared legal, valid, and binding—admissible in evidence and eligible for recording in Georgia with the same force and effect as if notarized in-state.
- Security instruments or documents executed for the conveyance of real property located in Georgia are explicitly excluded from these out-of-state notarization acceptance requirements.
- Effective upon the Governor's approval or upon becoming law without such approval.
