The certificate must include identification of the jurisdiction in which the notarial act is performed and the title of the office of the notarial officer and may include the official stamp or seal of the office.

If the notarial officer is a commissioned officer on active duty in the military service of the United States, it must also include the officer's rank.

a. The short form set forth in section 9E.15.
b. A form otherwise prescribed by the law of this state, including those forms set out in chapter 558.
c. A form prescribed by the laws or regulations applicable in the place in which the notarial act was performed.
d. A form which sets forth the actions of the notarial officer and those are sufficient to meet the requirements of the designated notarial act.
