held and the provisions of section 29 will be called to the attention of the sender.
1.
The document may be returned to the sender, upon request, so that a certificate may be obtained.
2.
The document may be recorded without the certificate (with an annotation on the official record) at the specific request of the sender.
c.
Recordation of foreign documents which are clearly not assignments will be made without
reference to section 29, but where the nature of the document is unclear, the provisions of that section may be xalled to the attention of the sender.d.
Since the statute refers to acknowledgment of the signature of the assignor, a consular certificate of acknowledgment of the signature of someone other than the assignor will be questioned, and the sender will be given an opportunity to obtain a new certificate.
Example:
(1)
The signature of the assignor has been acknowledged before a notarial officer of the country of execution, and the notary's signature has in turn been certified by a consular officer.
