Mississippi Notary Handbook
NOTARIAL SEAL
Mississippi law requires that every Notary Public appointed and commissioned, at his or her own expense, procure a suitable notarial seal. The seal must have the name of the county of the notary’s residence with that of the state. The notary’s name must be in the margin of the seal, and the words “NotaryPublic” must be across the center of the seal. In Mississippi, both embosser and ink seals are permissible. The notary must use this seal in attesting his or her notarial acts. However, nonconformity of the seal does not invalidate any official act or certificate of the notary. Miss. Code Ann. §25-33-3 (Rev. 1999).
