Except as otherwise provided in Subsection B of Section 14-14A-3 NMSA 1978, the failure of a notarial officer to perform a duty or meet a requirement specified in the Revised Uniform Law on Notarial Acts does not invalidate a notarial act performed by the notarial officer. The validity of a notarial act under the Revised Uniform Law on Notarial Acts does not prevent an aggrieved person from seeking to invalidate the record or transaction that is the subject of the notarial act or from seeking other remedies based on law of this state other than the Revised Uniform Law on Notarial Acts or law of the United States. This section does not validate a purported notarial act performed by an individual who does not have the authority to perform notarial acts. History: Laws 2021, ch. 21, § 25; 2023, ch. 110, § 23. The 2023 amendment, effective June 16, 2023, after "Section", changed "3 of the Revised Uniform Law on Notarial Acts" to "14-14A-3 NMSA 1978". Applicability. — Laws 2021, ch. 21, § 37 provided that the provisions of Laws 2021, ch. 21 apply to notarial acts performed in this state on and after January 1, 2022.
