notary seal

Document authentication mark

A notary seal is the official stamp or embossed impression that a notary public affixes to documents to certify that signatures were witnessed and identities verified.

The seal typically includes the notary's name, commission number, and expiration date.

Without a proper notary seal, documents requiring notarization—such as deeds, affidavits, and powers of attorney—may be rejected as invalid.
