office, which seal shall have for its impression:

A scrawl shall not be a sufficient notary seal. An
official notarial act must be documented by the notary´s seal.
It shall be unlawful for any person, firm, or corporation to supply a notary public seal to
any person unless the person has presented the duplicate original of the certificate
commissioning the person as a notary public. It shall be unlawful for any person to order or
obtain a notary public seal unless such person is commissioned as a notary public.
