Affidavit Taken in Another State

Generally, affidavits taken in another state should signed and sealed by the author under oath and should be accompanied by a certificate authenticating the notary’s authority to administer the oath in that state.  However, some jurisdictions allow affidavits signed before a notary in another state without an accompanying certificate authenticating the authority of the notary to administer oath.  If there is no statutory provision defining the parameter to authenticate a foreign notary, then the notary’s official seal is sufficient to authenticate the instrument.
