notarial seal

A notarial seal is an official stamp or impression used by a notary public to authenticate their notarization of a document. It typically includes the notary’s name, commission details, and jurisdiction, serving as a symbol of legitimacy and authority. The seal helps prevent forgery and confirms that the notary has verified the signatures and identities involved. While some regions now allow electronic seals, traditional physical seals remain a key part of notarization, providing assurance that the document is properly certified by a qualified official.
