Read the first 7 Official Seal and Stamp flashcards as text

  1. In Nevada, is a metal embosser alone sufficient as the official notary seal?

    Answer: No, Nevada requires an inked rubber stamp; an embosser may only be used in addition to it

    Nevada law requires an inked stamp that can be photographically reproduced, so an embosser may supplement but never replace it.

  2. A signer asks a Nevada notary to stamp a blank sheet of paper 'for later use.' What should the notary do?

    Answer: Refuse, because the stamp may only be affixed as part of performing an authorized notarial act

    Affixing the official stamp to a blank or incomplete document is prohibited because the stamp may only be used to complete an actual notarial act.

  3. Which scenario describes proper storage of a Nevada notary's stamp?

    Answer: Kept in a locked drawer to which only the notary has access

    The stamp must be kept in a secure location under the notary's sole and exclusive control.

  4. A Nevada notary's stamp impression comes out smudged and partially unreadable on a deed. What is the best course of action?

    Answer: Affix a clear, legible impression in a nearby open area of the certificate

    Because the impression must be legible and reproducible, the notary should stamp again clearly in a blank area rather than alter the smudged one.

  5. A notary resigns her Nevada commission halfway through the term. What should she do with her official stamp?

    Answer: Destroy or deface the stamp so it cannot be misused

    When a commission ends by resignation, revocation, or expiration, the stamp should be destroyed to prevent fraudulent use.

  6. Which element on the Nevada notary stamp allows the Secretary of State to identify the specific notary in its records?

    Answer: The appointment (commission) number

    The appointment number is the unique identifier the Secretary of State assigns to each notary's commission.

  7. A Nevada notary legally changes her name after marriage. What is true about her existing stamp?

    Answer: She must obtain a stamp reflecting her new name after notifying the Secretary of State of the change

    The stamp must show the notary's name as it appears on file with the Secretary of State, so a name change requires notification and an updated stamp.
