notarial seal

notarial seal
An official seal of a notary public which, when duly affixed, is at least prima facie evidence of the notary's official character and raises a presumption of the truth of statements made by the notary in such character. The form of the seal is sometimes provided by law, but such a provision has been held merely directory. If a seal is required, he cannot use a private one, but must adopt an official seal inscribed as he may choose, but capable of making a definite and uniform impression on the paper authenticated or on some tenacious substance attached thereto. It is no longer necessary to use wax or some other adhesive substance on which the seal may be impressed and if the law does not positively prescribe otherwise, it is enough that the impress be made upon the paper itself in such manner as to be readily identified on inspection. 39 Am J1st Notary § 34.
