An optional device that, if used, should identify the notary, authority, and jurisdiction.
A special mark used only for electronic acts.
Correct Answer
C. An optional device that, if used, should identify the notary, authority, and jurisdiction.
AI Explanation
New York does not require notarial seals. In the booklet’s "Definitions and General Terms," the State does not require the use of seals by notaries public, but if a seal is used it should sufficiently identify the notary, authority, and jurisdiction. For contrast, the notary’s signature and statutory information under Executive Law §137 remain required even when no seal is used.
