The electronic notarial certificate must include identification of the jurisdiction in which the electronic notarial act is performed and the electronic seal of the electronic notary public.
(b) An electronic notarial certificate of an electronic notarial act is sufficient if it meets the requirements of subsection (a) and it:

(2) is in a form otherwise prescribed by the law of this State; or
(3) sets forth the actions of the electronic notary public and those are sufficient to meet the requirements of the designated electronic notarial act.
