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.

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.
