                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

VALIDATION OF CERTAIN ACTS (§ 47.1-20.1)

A. Oaths of office administered by a notary public on or before July 1, 1982,
are hereby deemed to be valid and actions of any public officer taking such
oaths are hereby deemed valid.

B. No notarial act performed by a notary public shall be invalidated solely
because of the failure of such notary public to perform a duty or meet a
requirement specified in this title. However, the validity of a notarial act
shall not prohibit an aggrieved person from seeking to invalidate the record or
transaction that is the subject of such notarial act or from seeking other
remedies authorized by the laws of the Commonwealth or laws of the United
States. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to validate a purported
notarial act performed by an individual who is not authorized to perform such
notarial acts.
