The official signature of any notary, other than the officiating notary, before whom one of the parties signs constitutes a sufficient designation of the notary.
Where a party signed a notarial act in the presence of a notary other than the officiating notary and that notary entered in it and signed the attestation in accordance with the seventh paragraph of section 46, the party is deemed to have appeared before the officiating notary for the purposes of that act.
