If part of your job duties is using notary embossers , you may have found yourself wondering, “Do I also need to use my ink stamp when notarizing?” or “Does the embossment need to be done within the Notary block?” When notarizing, the seal needs to always emboss or imprint a photographically reproducible impression.
