Florida Notary Seal Stamp - Pre-inked Brother

The official notary seal is the rubber stamp type seal with four elements:

the words, “Notary Public-State of Florida”
the notary’s exact commissioned name
the notary’s commission number
the notary’s commission expiration date

The name of the notary’s bonding company may be included on the seal but is not required.
The state does not furnish notary seals. You may purchase a seal from your bonding company or from a company that makes rubber stamps.
Some companies that produce notary seals include a symbol or emblem on the stamp, such as the Capitol dome, a flag, an eagle, etc., but this is optional. No emblem or symbol is required. Additionally, you may NOT use the Great Seal of the State of Florida on your notary seal.
You may sign notarial certificates with any color ink, but the notary seal must be affixed with black ink only.
You may use an impression seal (embosser) in addition to the rubber stamp seal, but not in place of it. If you choose to use an impression seal, your name should be correct and the seal should contain the words, “Notary Public-State of Florida.”
Before using your notary seal, examine the seal to ensure that all information is correct.
Keep your seal in a secure location to avoid its loss or misuse.
If your notary seal is lost, misplaced, or stolen, you are required to notify the Department of State (or the Governor’s Notary Section) in writing. You should include your commission name and number, date of birth, and the last date the seal was in your possession. Additionally, if your seal was stolen, you should file a report with your local law enforcement agency. Please refer to Q & A on page 61 for instructions when an employer keeps your notary seal.
