As a Notary, your official Notary seal stamp or seal embosser is your most-used tool. The Notary seal is the impression of the Notary Public inked stamp or crimping embosser. It is used to authenticate the Notary's signature and make the notarial act official. The imprint of the Notary seal contains the Notary Public's commission information. Difference Between Stamps and Embossers The term "Notary seal" is often used interchangeably with stamp and embosser. Some states refer to seals as "stamps" while other states use "seal" to reference an embosser. Notary Stamp: Notary seal stamps are inked rubber stamps that imprint state-required information — usually the Notary Public's name, state of commission and date of commission expiration. Notary stamps are usually rectangular, but some states require a round stamp. Each state maintains its own requirement for the stamps used by its Notaries. Below are some examples of inked rubber stamp imprints. Inked Rubber Stamp - Rectangular (Style Stamp - Rectangular) (Sample Impression) Inked Rubber Stamp - Round (Style Stamp - Round) (Sample Impression) Notary Embosser: Notary embossers are a metal clamping device that produces a raised indentation of the Notary Publics commission information (usually name and state of commission). Notary embossers are round in shape and, prior to most states adopting the inked rubber stamp, were the traditional method for documenting a notarization. Some states still require a raised embossed seal, but embossers are more commonly used in conjunction with the inked rubber stamp. Embossed seals are not photographically reproducible alone, but can be with an embossment inker. Below is an example of a seal embosser. Seal Embosser (Sample Impression) At some point, you may encounter the presence of "L.S." on a certificate. "L.S." is the abbreviation of the term Locus Sigilli, which means "place of the seal." It appears on some documents to indicate where the Notary's seal should be placed. Seals should be placed near "L.S." on a certificate and not over the words. How to get a Notary Seal Each state has its own set of requirements in order to receive a Notary seal. Our Seal & Stamp requirements page contains a state-by-state guide on which documents are needed and what to do with those documents. In most cases, you need to be a commissioned Notary Public prior to receiving your seal. When to Use a Notary Seal Each state has its own unique set of rules and regulations when performing a notarization. NNA members can visit our online US Notary Reference Manual for much more information regarding your state. You can use your Notary seal until your commission expiration date. Once your Notary commission expires, you must properly dispose of your Notary seal. Notary Seal Stamps Using Your NNA Stamp Make sure your document is on a firm, flat surface for stamping. Stamping documents on stacks of paper, files or magazines may produce an unacceptable image on your document that may later be rejected. Place the printing surface of your stamp flatly on your document DO NOT ANGLE THE STAMP Hold your stamp with your thumb and fingers; do not press down with the palm of your hand Quickly press and release The image should CLEARLY show all the letters and numbers, the stamp border and the state seal, if included. Not recommended for onion skin or mylar documents. Warning: Your stamp is heat sensitive and must be stored at room temperature. Exposing your stamp to heat will cause damage and poor impressions. Keep exposed lettering from sharp surfaces. Cleaning Your Stamp Apply and remove a piece of clear tape to the raised letter surface of your stamp to collect dust and dirt. If your stamp includes a removable cover, be sure to replace the cover immediately after using your stamp. How to clean your stamp Re-Inking Instructions Download our inking instructions for your Notary stamp. If you need to purchase re-inking fluid for your Notary stamp, please visit our Notary Seal Accessory page. Important: If you have a pre-inked stamp, use oil-based ink only when re-inking your stamp. Using any other type of ink may damage your stamp and cause your impression to bleed. If you have a self-inking stamp, replacement ink cartridges should be used. This will ensure your stamp consistently delivers clean, uniform impressions every time. Notary Seal Embossers General Information The embosser is designed for quick, one-hand operation. Our embossing mechanism reduces the amount of effort required, making each embossment an easy one. Keep your seal locked when not in use to ensure the embosser seal gives a clean and sharp impression. Each embosser is made to meet your state's guidelines. Please Note: Embossers are extremely heat sensitive and must be kept out of direct or extreme heat. Exposure to heat will cause the seal to malfunction.
