True or False: A notary public can use an impression seal in place of a rubber stamp seal.

  1. True

  2. False

  3. Only for certain documents

  4. Only if authorized by the Governor

The correct answer is: False

A notary public is required to use a rubber stamp seal that meets specific state regulations. In Florida, the law mandates that the seal must include certain identifiable information, including the notary's name, the words "Notary Public," and the state of Florida. While an impression seal can be used in some contexts outside of official notarial duties, it is not acceptable as a substitute for the legally specified rubber stamp seal when performing notarial acts. This distinction is critical because the rubber stamp seal is the legally recognized form of identification for notarial acts, ensuring consistency and authenticity across documents. Thus, the statement that a notary public can use an impression seal as a substitute is false, reinforcing the requirement to adhere strictly to the legal requirements for the execution of notarial functions.
