An officer taking and certifying an acknowledgment or proof of an instrument for record must authenticate the officer's certificate by affixing thereto:
1. The officer's signature followed by the name of the officer's office; and
2. The officer's seal of office, if by the laws of the territory, state, or country where the
acknowledgment or proof is taken, or by authority of which the officer is acting, the
