of that nation stationed in the United States, conclusively establishes a matter relating

perform notarial acts. 5. If the title of office and indication of authority to perform notarial acts appears
either in a digest of foreign law or in a list customarily used as a source for that
information, the authority of an officer with that title to perform notarial acts
is conclusively established.
