The New Jersey Treasurer is responsible for notaries, and has a manual at
http://www.state.nj.us/treasury/revenue/dcr/geninfo/notarymanual.shtml
It looks to me like New Jersey notaries are not required to have a seal, but, when taking an acknowledgement, must "Sign, date, and stamp an acknowledgment certificate (see illustrations). The ink stamp should include the date on which the Notary's commission expires. The stamp should be placed next to, but not over, the Notary's signature. (If the Notary does not have an ink stamp, his/her name and commission expiration date must be printed or typed on the certificate as indicated.)" |
