A certified copy of any foreign judgment may be filed in the office of the court administrator of any district court of this state. The court administrator shall treat the foreign judgment in the same manner as a judgment of any district court or the supreme court of this state. The time period provided insection 548.09for the continuation of the lien on real property, the rate of interest accrual provided insection 549.09, the time period provided insection 550.01for the enforcement of the judgment, and the requirements ofsections 508.63and508A.63apply to foreign judgments filed pursuant to this section. For purposes ofsections 548.09,549.09,550.01,508.63, and508A.63, the date of entry of a foreign judgment is the original date of entry in the foreign jurisdiction.Upon the filing of a certified copy of a foreign judgment in the office of the court administrator of district court of a county, it may not be filed in another district court in the state.
