Oklahoma law allows for the use of either a metal
seal, which leaves an embossed impression, or a
rubber stamp. All notary seals shall contain the name
of the notary public and the words “State of
Oklahoma” and “Notary Public.” The expiration date
and commission number may be part of the stamp or
seal. A notary public may purchase the embosser
seal or rubber stamp from various types of
companies. These companies are listed in the yellow
pages of the telephone book under one or more of
the following categories:
- Office supplies
- Rubber or plastic stamps
- Seals - notary and corporation
The Office of the Secretary of State does not
endorse any company that may solicit an
individual for notary supplies. Likewise, the
Office of the Secretary of State is not affiliated
with any of these companies.Within ten (10) days after the loss of the seal, the
notary shall deliver to the Secretary of State a written
notice of the loss or theft and the date the seal was
first discovered missing. In addition, the notary
should notify the appropriate law enforcement agency
in the case of theft.
When purchasing a replacement seal, it is advisable
to have a character or symbol added to the seal to
distinguish it from the missing one. Within ten (10)
days after purchasing a new seal, notify the Secretary
of State in writing of the date of purchase and the
distinguishing character or symbol added.
