Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in North Dakota

I am writing in hope you can answer a question for me.

N.D.R.Civ.P 33(b) states the following:

(b) Answers and Objections.

(1) Each interrogatory must be answered separately and fully in writing under oath, unless it is objected to, in which event the objecting party shall state the reasons for objection and shall answer to the extent the interrogatory is not objectionable.

(2) The answers are to be signed by the person making them, and the objections signed by the attorney making them.

My question is when a Plaintiff and their attorney send their written answers and objections to interrogatories to the Defendant does the attorney need to have their signature notarized or does only the Plaintiff need to have their signature notarized? Does the document need to be notarized in the state that the case is pending? The reason I ask this is that the case is pending in North Dakota and the notary stamp is from Washington.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

According to the rule, an attorneys signature does not need to be notarized. "unless its objected to"

The Notary must be in the state in which the signature was actually signed.
