Arkansas Notary Seal Stamp

Each notary public must have a seal of office, which can be either a rubber stamp or a metal embosser. The seal must include

his/her name as written in his/her official signature,
the name of the county where his/her bond is filed,
the words “notary public” and “Arkansas” and
the date of expiration of the notary’s commission

Beginning January 1, 2006, the commission number assigned by the Arkansas Secretary of State must also be included. The seal must be clear and legible, and capable of photographic reproduction. When using an embosser, it is advisable to use an ink pad or carbon over the seal so that it can be photocopied. It is not lawful to purchase a notary seal showing the Great Seal of Arkansas or an outline of the State of Arkansas. You will be required to purchase another.

At the time of notarization, the notary public shall sign his or her official signature on every notary certificate.
The official signature shall be the signature on file with the Secretary of State at the time of signing.

Under or near a notary public's official signature on every notary certificate, the notary public shall provide a seal of his or her office, which shall be either a rubber stamp seal or a seal embosser. The seal shall be clear and legible and capable of photographic reproduction.
The seal shall include:

The notary public's name exactly as he or she writes his or her official signature;
The name of the county where the notary public's bond is filed;
The words "notary public" and "Arkansas";
The date upon which the notary public's commission expires; and
The notary public's commission number issued by the Secretary of State if the notary public has been issued a commission number.
