Stockholders of a corporate principal may be accepted as sureties provided their qualifications as such are independent of their stock holdings therein. Sureties, if individuals, shall be citizens of the United States, except that sureties on bonds executed in any foreign country, the Canal Zone, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Alaska, Guam, or any possession of the United States, for the performance of contracts entered into in these places, need not be citizens of the United States, but not citizens of the United States shall be domiciled in the place where the contract is to be performed

If the officer has an official seal, it shall be affixed, otherwise the proper certificate as to his official character shall be furnished. Where citizenship is not required, as provided in paragraph 2 of these instructions, the affidavit may be amended accordingly.

4. The certificate of sufficiency shall be signed by an officer of a bank or trust company, a judge or clerk of a court of record, a United States district attorney or commissioner, a postmaster, a collector or deputy collector of internal revenue, or any other officer of the United States acceptable to the department or establishment concerned. Further certificates as to the financial qualification of the sureties may be required from time to time. Such certificates must be based on the personal investigation of the certifying officers at the time of the making thereof, and not upon prior certificates.
