Legal Terms & Definitions

In the booklet, a “seal” used by a New York notary should:

A

always be round and state-issued

B

sufficiently identify the notary public, authority, and jurisdiction

C

be used only on Sundays

D

replace the need for a venue

Correct Answer

B. sufficiently identify the notary public, authority, and jurisdiction

AI Explanation

New York does not require a notary seal, but if one is used it should identify the notary and authority. The “Seal” definition explains that the seal should sufficiently identify the notary public, authority, and jurisdiction. For contrast, the venue requirement comes from the certificate and is not replaced by a seal.
