What is a Self-Inking Notary Public Stamp?
A notary stamp or notary seal is a rubber stamp or self-inking rubber stamp that imprints your states required information. The required information generally includes:
- The notary public's name
- The state of commission
- The date of commission expiration
The stamps are usually rectangular, but some states require a round stamp. Whatever your state's requirements are for notary supplies, we can help you create the perfect, professional notary stamp.
What Does a Notary Do?
A notary must screen and witness the signing of important documents like property deeds, wills, powers of attorney, etc. The notary verifies the person's identity, willingness to sign without duress or under intimidation, and the understanding of the contents of the document.
Some notaries are required to put the signer under oath, declaring that all information in the document is true and correct under penalty of perjury.
