Linda - while I can also understand, I cannot find any reason to say it's okay to use the embosser/seal of the notary. See the comment below from an earlier poster wherein my concerns are also expressed.:
**I got a call from the office of the Scretary of State complaining about my use of the embosser. He suggested that I purchase an embosser with personalized text but not use my commission stamp for this purpose because I am not allowed to use the embosser or stamp without notarial wording and my signature.**

Thanks for this Brenda - and to add to it, if I may...
I can understand the reasoning behind embossing every page with a notary embosser (as it was presented here) HOWEVER the other thread brought up the discussion of embossing every page with a "company logo"...I totally disagree with this idea.
Further, when dealing with loan packages, in addition to the extra time and work involved (for no apparent useful purpose) I think the notary (or signing agent, if you will) should keep in mind the consequences of embossing all pages of a loan package and that practice's impact on the outcome of the loan.
In other words - stick to your job, notarize and stamp WHERE NECESSARY ONLY...your overkill and over-embossing can invalidate the document. Also, you should follow your state laws as to application of your notarial stamp and any embosser. Applying the embosser willy-nilly could be a violation of your state notarial statute..
Okay...off me soapbox.

This post was made a long time ago, however it was resurrected due to someone reading this and finding merit in this method. For counter-points on this practice (reasons NOT to emboss every page) see this link:

Fool proof method.
A notary stamp without wording carries no notarial meaning, but can be evidence in court that you "processed" the paperwork. Nobody else I have ever heard of has gotten complaints about embossing for whatever that is worth.
Good luck.

You said you were taught to use your embosser on a class. What class was that and who was the instructor?
Your answer... Your Notary "territory" starts at State of California and ends with your signature. The signer should initial each page to verify its existance if that is an issue. Embossing everything is over the top and as you can see can get you in trouble with the Secretary of State. |

I'm a California Notary & I have been using an embosser to tie multiple pages of notarized docs together. I sign & stamp the page with notarial wording and emboss the whole lot together. I was taught to do that in class. The other method suggested was using my stamp on the far edge of the pages. I was told to fan them out and press the stamp so that each page was marked. The purpose for using either the embosser or stamp in this fashion was for the Notary to be able to identify the various pages being notarized if called to do so in court.
I got a call from the office of the Scretary of State complaining about my use of the embosser. He suggested that I purchase an embosser with personalized text but not use my commission stamp for this purpose because I am not allowed to use the embosser or stamp without notarial wording and my signature.
Seems that makes sense. Has this issue ever come up before? Is there some other way to be sure that the pages relating to the notarization are tied together in some way?
