## Text

14.040 Official acts, how attested.

The Secretary of State shall attest the official acts of the Governor under the seal of the

Commonwealth. He shall attest his own official acts under his official seal, and may also

use the seal of the Commonwealth to attest any certificate by either himself or the

Governor in cases where the seal of the Commonwealth is required to entitle the

certificate or anything certified by it to be admitted to record or used as evidence or

otherwise in any other state; but where the seal of the Secretary of State is required, the

use of the seal of the Commonwealth shall not dispense with that requirement.
