Attn: AL., notaries...
I conducted a nice signing last night with an 'investment borrower'. We got to talking about the metal embosser required on our notary blocks. He stated that he has had several closings with notaries who are using stamps. Stop! You are legally required to use the embosser in Alabama, also stated that he hasn't seen but a few notaries pull out a journal of notarial events....another NO-NO!...get a grip

Actually the state of Alabama says:
Section 36-20-32
Seal.
For the authentication of his official acts, each such notary must provide a seal of office which must present, by its impression, his name, office and the state for which he was appointed.
(Acts 1943, No. 431, p. 400, §3.)
A "stamp", leaves an impression (doesn't say it has to be embossed). As long as the "stamp" provides all of the necessary information, it sounds like it would meet the requirement of this section.
