State of Kentucky Official Notary Seal Requirements
Kentucky notary statutes do not require the notary to use a seal. However, if a notary wishes to obtain a seal of office, it should contain:
- The name of the notary public
- The title such as “Notary Public-State at Large” or “Notary Public-Special Commission.”
It should be noted that some states require a seal or stamp; therefore, if you are notarizing a deed or other document which is to be
recorded or used out of state, there is a possibility a seal or stamp is required.
Kentucky does not require the use of a journal. However, it is advisable to keep a record book of official acts
because a journal provides documentation of the notary’s personal knowledge of performance of the notarization.
