Sec. 9. (a) A notarial act performed under the authority and in the jurisdiction of a federally recognized Indian tribe is presumed valid and has the same effect as a notarial act performed by a notarial officer of Indiana if the notarial act is: (1) performed within the territory of the Indian tribe; and (2) performed by: (A) a notary public of the Indian tribe; (B) a judge, clerk, or deputy clerk of the Indian tribe; or (C) any other individual authorized by the laws of the Indian tribe to perform the notarial act. (b) The signature and title of an individual performing a notarial act under the authority of and in the jurisdiction of a federally recognized Indian tribe are prima facie evidence of the fact that: (1) the signature is genuine; and (2) the individual holds the designated title. (c) The signature and title of a notarial officer described in subsection (a)(1) or (a)(2) conclusively establish the authority of the notarial officer to perform the notarial act.
