State of Florida Official Notary Stamp Guidelines

A notary public seal shall be affixed to all notarized paper documents and shall be of the rubber stamp type and shall include the words ‘Notary Public-State of Florida.’

The seal shall also include:

• The name of the notary public,
• The date of expiration of the commission of the notary public
• The commission number.

The rubber stamp seal must be affixed to the notarized paper document in photographically reproducible black ink.

Every notary public shall print, type, or stamp below his or her signature on a paper document his or her name exactly as commissioned.

An impression-type seal may be used in addition to the rubber stamp seal, but the rubber stamp seal shall be the official seal for use on a paper document, and the impression-type seal may not be substituted therefor.
