Florida Notary Public Updates

Your notary stamp serves as an official seal on the documents you notarize. Any errors or discrepancies on the stamp could lead to questions about the validity of the documents, potentially causing legal complications. Therefore, ensuring that the information on your stamp is correct is fundamental to fulfilling your duties as a notary public.

The official document that shows important information such as your name, when your commission begins and ends, and commission number is called a notary commission certificate. It is provided by the state of Florida when you become a notary and when you renew your notary commission. Upon receiving your certificate, cross-check it with your notary stamp to ensure accuracy. Any discrepancies should be addressed promptly to avoid potential issues in the future.

Additionally, reputable companies like Troy Fain Insurance will ask for a copy of your commission certificate before making your stamp if you purchase one at a later time. This is to make sure all the details are right. They will then use this information to create a stamp that accurately reflects your commission.

Making sure your stamp's information matches your commission certificate is crucial. So, always double-check that your stamp is up-to-date and accurate before using it the first time.
