What information is required on a notarial seal?

  1. Name of the notary

  2. Notary's address

  3. Notary's personal phone number

  4. Birthdate of the notary

The correct answer is: Name of the notary

The requirement for the notarial seal to include the name of the notary is essential for the identification and authenticity of the notarial act. It serves as a way to verify the identity of the notary public, which is crucial for the integrity of documents being notarized. Including the notary's name ensures that the signing parties can confidently trace back the validity of the notarization to an officially appointed notary public. While elements such as the notary's address could provide additional context or verification, they are not mandated as a standard requirement on the seal itself. Personal phone numbers and birthdates are typically not relevant or necessary for the function of the notarial seal and do not contribute to its purpose of validating the notary's identity and the notarization process. Thus, the inclusion of the notary's name is the only critical information needed on a notarial seal to meet the legal standards and ensure the credibility of the notarization.
