We believe the Brother 2260 pre-inked North Dakota notary stamp is the best money can buy

Featuring an ultra-crisp impression with no bleed-through, the Brother will yield up to 50,000 North Dakota notary seal impressions when properly re-inked

When one of our business partners asked us to carry the Brother line, we were both skeptical and reluctant. Our skepticism stemmed from the fact that the stamps can be made fairly quickly - often in as little as 10 minutes from start-to-finish, in fact - which had us thinking they had to be cheap. Our reluctance was due to the very high price of parts, as well as the fact that you cannot make more than 1 stamp at a time. (Brother materials range from 2 - 4x as expensive as other stamps and the Brother stamp machine can only accommodate one.)

However, after seeing the impressions first-hand, we were sold. The Brother imprints are extremely crisp and, unlike many other pre-inked stamps, bleed is virtually non-existent, even after several weeks. So, we promptly ordered our first machine.

The Brother, like most pre-inked stamps, can be re-inked to yield additional impressions. If your stamp impression ever fades, simply remove the cap and add the appropriate number of Brother ink drops.

IMPORTANT: Re-inking with any other brand of ink will ruin your stamp, so please do not do this.

Notary Public Seal/Stamp
Acquiring a Notary Seal/Stamp

Before a seal/stamp can be purchased the notary must request a "Certificate of Authorization," from the Secretary of State, for the manufacture of a notary seal/stamp.

A seal/stamp may be purchased at an office supply store, stationery store, or a print shop.

The seal/stamp must, be designed to leave a clear impression, be photographically reproducible, include the words "Notary Public" and "State of North Dakota," contain the name and commission expiration date of the notary public exactly as shown on the notary's commission or certificate of authorization, and which may not contain any other words, numbers, symbols, or a reproduction of the great seal of the state, and a border surrounding the imprint.

Lost, Stolen or Otherwise Damaged Seal/Stamp

Send the Secretary of State a letter explaining what happened and, if applicable, photocopies of a police report. The Secretary of State will send you a certificate of authorization in order to obtain a new seal/stamp from the vendor of your choice.

If the seal/stamp was lost or stolen, obtaining a different type of seal/stamp is suggested.


North Dakota Notary Law
44-06-04. FILING OF OATH, BOND, AND IMPRESSION OF NOTARIAL SEAL - REQUIREMENTS OF SEAL.
Each notary public, before entering upon the duties of office, shall file the notary public's oath and bond, in the office of the secretary of state. The secretary of state, upon receipt of the proper fee, oath, and bond, shall issue a certificate of authorization with which the notary public may obtain an official notary seal. A notary seal vendor may provide a notary with an official seal only upon presentation by the notary of a certificate of authorization. The notary public shall place an impression of the notary's seal on the certificate of authorization and return the certificate of authorization to the secretary of state.

After the certificate of authorization is received, approved, and filed, the secretary of state shall issue a notary commission that authorizes the notary to commence the duties of the office of notary public. After August 1, 2003, a notary being commissioned must obtain a seal approved by the secretary of state which must be designed to leave a clear impression, be photographically reproducible, include the words "State of North Dakota" and "Notary Public", contain the name and commission expiration date of the notary public exactly as shown on the notary's commission, and which may not contain any other words, numbers, symbols, or a reproduction of the great seal of the state. All notary seals must be surrounded by a border and be either one and five-eighths inch [41.28 millimeters] in diameter or if of a rectangular design, may be up to or equal to seven-eighths inch [22.23 millimeters] vertically by two and five-eighths inches [66.68 millimeters] horizontally. An official seal is the property of the notary only and may not be retained or used by any other person including an employer of a notary even if the employer purchased or paid for the notary's seal. An official seal must remain in the direct and exclusive control of the notary at all times during a notary's commission. A notary must affix the notary's seal to each jurat or certificate of acknowledgment at the time of performing the notarial act.

Upon the resignation, removal, revocation, or expiration of a notary's commission, or the death or name change of a notary, the notarial seal must be destroyed. When a notary's official seal is lost, damaged, or is rendered otherwise unworkable, the notary shall immediately submit written notice of that fact to the secretary of state. Within five working days after receipt of the notice, the secretary of state shall issue a new certificate of authorization, which a notary may use to obtain a replacement seal.
