Step 3: Order your notary seal and any other supplies from Notary Rotary, Inc.

The state of New Hampshir3e requires all notaries public to use either a New Hampshire notary embossing seal or a New Hampshire notary stamp when performing a notarial act and, in the case of using an embossing seal, suggests a stamp containing your commission expiration. Although New Hampshire law does not require that notaries keep a journal of their notarial acts, we at Notary Rotary recommend keeping one. A New Hampshire notary journal is a record of the notarial acts performed and can be vital in protecting the notary from possible liability.
