…. so how a stamp can be "illegal" is beyond me. This is what you get for involving the NNA. You use the great resources of NR to ask questions and get advice … so support NR by getting you stuff here. Tho, I don't know that they make custom stamps like you're looking for. If not, just go to Staples and get one made. Your state doesn't appear to address the issue of handwritten or printed notarizations (and why would they? bizarre) … Here's what they have to say:
<<Completing the notarial certificate. This must include all of the following: the date of notarization; your name; the county of appointment; the expiration date of your commission; and if performing a notarial act in a county other than your county of commission, the statement "Acting in the County of _______." Always sign your name exactly as it appears on your application for commission as a notary public, including middle name or initial(s) if used.
The county of notarization (or "venue") is essential as it determines the legal jurisdiction in the event the notarization is challenged in a court of law. This is not the notary's county of residence or commission, although it may be the same.
Michigan law does not require notaries to use an embossed seal or rubber stamp on a document.>>
When in doubt, always refer to your SOS website … and forget the NNA.
