Seal
The laws of the State of New York do not require the use of seals by notaries public.
If a seal is used, it should sufficiently identify the notary public, his authority and jurisdiction.
It is the opinion of the Department of State that the only inscription required is the name of the notary and the
words “Notary Public for the State of New York.”
If you would like the Registration Number and Expiration included, please state the information in "Special Instructions" on the CUSTOMIZE page.
Signature of Notary Public
A notary public must sign the name under which he was appointed and no other. In addition to his signature and venue, the notary public shall print, typewrite or stamp beneath his signature in black ink, his name, the words “Notary Public State of New York,” the name of the county in which he is qualified, and the date upon which his commission expires (§137, Executive Law).
