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 Virginia Notary Stamp?

Virginia Notary Handbook

SEALS

Virginia notary law does not require a notary to own a seal or use a seal on any document. However, most Virginia notaries use a seal as a matter of custom. If a seal is used, it is recommended that the notary seal be imprinted or stamped just below the notarial statement. Care should be taken to not obscure the signatures or other parts of the document.

Moreover, if a notary expects to notarize documents to be used outside the Commonwealth or to be presented to federal agencies, he or she should be aware that many states and some federal agencies require a seal before they will accept the validity of the notarial act.

Notarial seals must be ordered through a private seal manufacturer. The Office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth does not make or sell seals.
