notary seals

Authentication embossing tools

Notary seals are official embossed or inked stamps that notaries public affix to documents to certify that signatures were witnessed and identities verified.

The seal typically includes the notary's name, commission number, and state of authorization.

Documents requiring notarization—deeds, affidavits, powers of attorney—aren't legally complete without the seal: The bank wouldn't accept the document because the notary seal was missing.
