Alaska Notary Seal Stamp

The notary seal may be either a seal press or rubber stamp that will print or emboss a seal that legibly reproduces, under photographic methods, the words, "State of Alaska", "Notary Public", and the name of the notary. The seal may be circular, not over 2 inches in diameter, or may be a rectangular form, not more than 1 inch in width by 2.5 inches in length.

You must also type, print, or rubber-stamp the following information on every notary certificate you complete and must be capable of photographic reproduction:

Your name exactly as it appears on your commission and seal;
the words, "My commission expires";
expiration date of your notary commission.

A notary public shall keep an official seal, which is the exclusive property of the notary public, and shall ensure that another person does not possess or use the official seal.
A notary public's official seal

must contain

the notary public's name exactly as indicated on the notary public's commission certificate;
the words "Notary Public" and "State of Alaska"; and

may be a circular form not over two inches in diameter, may be a rectangular form not more than one inch in width by two and one-half inches in length, or may be an electronic form as authorized by regulations adopted by the lieutenant governor.

When not in use, a notary public's official seal shall be kept secure and under the exclusive control of the notary public.
Within 10 days after a notary public's official seal is stolen or lost, or the security of the notary public's official electronic seal is compromised, the notary public shall provide the lieutenant governor with written notification of the theft, loss, or compromised security. After the notary public has provided the lieutenant governor with the notification, the notary public shall provide the lieutenant governor with any additional information that the lieutenant governor requests about the compromise of the seal.
In order to avoid misuse, a notary public's official seal shall be destroyed or defaced

upon the notary public's resignation or death;
upon the revocation or termination by the lieutenant governor of the notary public's commission; or
when the notary public's term of commission ends if the notary public has not received a new commission under this chapter.

With regard to each paper document being notarized, a sharp, legible, photographically reproducible impression or depiction of a notary public's official seal shall be affixed

on the notarial certificate near the notary public's official signature; and
only at the time the notarial act is performed.

For a notarized paper document, illegible information within a seal impression or depiction may be typed or printed legibly by the notary public adjacent to, but not within, the impression or depiction.
An embossed seal impression that is not photographically reproducible may be used in addition to, but not in place of, the seal impression or depiction required by (a) of this section.
A notary public may use a seal in electronic form on electronic documents notarized by the notary public as authorized by regulations adopted by the lieutenant governor. The seal shall be affixed only at the time the notarial act is performed.
