embosser

even after reading through the course for notary I can't tell if I need to use the embosser seal or just my stamp?

A lot of people seem to come out of notary classes unable to answer things that are clearly explained in the state's notary handbook. I guess a lot of the classes out there just aren't very good.

In the case of South Carolina, the notary handbook may be found at

I'm sure you know, but SC is an attorney-only state

for doing loan signings. You didn't say that's what you do, but thought I would mention it anyway.

Yes I do know that and I have been a notary in SC for the last 4yrs. I have just relocated to Florida. Which is why I am confused about using the embosser... Thank you

You should have clarified that in your post Jackie

so you got accurate information.

Florida notarizations *require* a rubber stamp. Embosser is allowed but not required.

Page 9 of the manual

Also - seal MUST be in black ink - you can sign in any color you want but the seal MUST be in black ink.
