Ideal® is the industry's leading embosser and the Model M is a step up from the less expensive No. 1, which many stores carry.

Handhelds are great for notaries on the go while desk models are best if you don't travel.

The Ideal Model M is a heavy-duty hand notary seal embosser which produces clean, crisp impressions on most paper stocks.

This embosser offers a high degree of leverage, longer paper insertion than entry-level models such as the No. 1, and a die-insert that is interchangeable with the Desk model. When you purchase the Model M handheld embosser, you will also receive a black carrying pouch.

The Ideal Model M Desk embosser features a larger body and is meant to sit atop your desk. Embossments are a bit easier with the desk style due to the greater degree of leverage it offers.

When you order the Model M hand held or Desk model, it will come with a die insert engraved with your notary commission information. If your commission information includes an expiration date, you will simply need to buy a replacement insert when your new term begins.

The Insert listed in our store is just that - the insert ONLY. If you purchase an insert, you should already have an Ideal Model M seal handle to place it in.

Embossers are sometimes called paper crimpers. In many states, an embosser alone is sufficient to perform a notarization; in others, they may only be used in conjunction with notary seal stamps.


What does the law say about the Montana Notary Stamp?

Montana Notary Handbook
NOTARIAL SEAL AND STAMP
It is the responsibility of the notary to obtain and keep an official seal upon being commissioned. The State does not provide the seal. They may be purchased from most stationery, stamp, or office supply stores.

Montana statute requires the notary’s seal to bear:
  • The Notary’s Name exactly as it appears on the Certificate of Commission
  • The words, State of Montana
  • The words, Notarial Seal or Notary Public
The law does not specify the size, shape, or type of seal that is required. A notary may use either a crimper-type or an ink-type seal; it is a matter of personal preference. Many people prefer the embosser because it looks more official; however, with the increased use of electronic transmission of documents, the ink-type offers a higher degree of legibility when documents are faxed or copied frequently.

In addition to the official seal, many notaries choose to have a stamp made which contains most of the information required below the notary’s signature in a notarial block. This information includes:
  • The notary’s printed name
  • The title, Notary Public for the State of Montana
  • The words, Residing at (the city/town where the notary lives)
  • And, My commission expires (the month/day/four digit year)
