The cross seal is in addition to your notarized page. You complete your notarization as you normally do. Then you match up the two documents and place a cross seal on the two (equal parts on both pages). I have no idea if it is legal in all states. That is why you know your notary laws per the state you live in. But I can use it in Oregon and Idaho. I’ve had notarized documents this way sent to CA for recording and they have always been accepted. It is much easier doing this than trying to match up staple holes.
As per the Oregon SOS Handbook, page 37 (2016) - You can use the notary stamping device to guard against fraudulent certificate use. Affix the impression so that it rests partly on the certificate and partly on the signer’s page, but make sure that the stamp does not obscure any writing or signatures on either paper. Make sure a whole impression is also on the certificate, so that an auditor can compare the divided impression to the whole.
