Notary Stamp Information - Everything You Need To Know About Notary Stamps
A notary stamp is a tool that a notary uses to perform his or her notarial duties. In the wrong hands, a notary stamp can be used to commit fraud that may require the notary to hire an attorney to prove his or her innocence. A bad notary stamp impression placed on a document may cause the document to be rejected by the receiving party. It might also cause financial loss to others, which could result in legal actions against the notary.
Notary Stamp vs. Notary Seal Embosser
A novice notary could easily become confused when shopping for notary supplies, especially when determining whether ordering a notary stamp is a better choice than ordering a notary seal embosser. The answer comes down to your state’s notary stamp and notary seal law requirements. These requirements vary from state to state. Some states require notaries to use only an inked notary stamp, while others allow a notary seal embosser if used in conjunction with an inked notary stamp. Other states allow notaries to use either one.

What ink color should I choose when ordering a notary stamp?
First, verify if your state law has any restrictions on the type of color that you can have on a notary stamp. If your state is silent on this issue, we recommend using a dark color ink that can be easily shown on a copied document. Second, if allowed in your state, we also recommend ordering a notary stamp with blue ink color to differentiate between original and nonoriginal documents. Click here to order a notary stamp.

Do I need a notary stamp?

The official notary stamp of a notary on a document is a recognized mark indicating that:

Tips on using your notary stamp:
- Make a few practice impressions when you receive your notary stamp.
- Make sure all the elements required by law on the notary stamp are clearly showing on the document. Missing information may void the document.
- Do not obscure any text on the document with the notary stamp impression.
- Do not expose your notary stamp to heat. Do not leave it in your car or under a light. Heat causes the ink to dry. Click here to order a notary stamp.
