    (a)    A notarial act performed under the authority and in the jurisdiction of a federally recognized Indian tribe has the same effect under the laws of this State as if performed by a notarial officer of this State, if the act performed in the jurisdiction of the tribe is performed by:

        (1)    a notary public of the tribe;

        (2)    a judge, clerk, or deputy clerk of a court of the tribe; or

        (3)    any other individual authorized by the laws of the tribe to perform the notarial act.

    (b)    The signature and title of an individual performing a notarial act under the authority and in the jurisdiction of a federally recognized Indian tribe are prima facie evidence that:

        (1)    the signature is genuine; and

        (2)    the individual holds the designated title.

    (c)    The signature and title of a notarial officer listed in subsection (a)(1) or (2) of this section conclusively establish the authority of the notarial officer to perform the notarial act.
