When the acknowledgment or proof of execution of an instrument is properly made but defectively certified any party interested may have an action in the circuit court to obtain a judgment correcting the certificate. Any person interested under an instrument entitled to be proved for record may institute an action in the circuit court against the proper parties to obtain a judgment proving such instrument. A certified copy of the judgment in a proceeding instituted under the provisions of this section showing the proof of the instrument and attached thereto, entitles the instrument to record with like effect as if acknowledged.
