Such certificate shall be dated and signed by such registered surveyor. History: 1955 c 472 s 1; 1976 c 181 s 2 505.176 APPROVAL OF CERTIFICATES; FILING AND RECORDING. When the certificate has been approved by the governing body of the area involved and a certificate stating that said plat certificate has been approved by the governing body signed by the clerk of said body is attached to said plat certificate, the county recorder of the county in which the land so platted or subdivided is located shall accept each such certificate for filing and recording in the recorder's office upon payment of a fee therefor commensurate with the length of the certificate. Neither witnesses nor an acknowledgment shall be required on any such certificate, but it shall be signed by the registered surveyor and shall state following the signature that the surveyor is a registered surveyor in the state of Minnesota.
