I don't believe Florida prohibits preprinted dates either as long as the signatures are all originals and no backdating is occuring.

In New York State everything, including the State, County, date, and the notary "stamp" can be preprinted or stamped. Case in point: I needed 150 acks (for the same person, place & date). I prepared the first and photocopied it 149 times. Of course the signatures need to be original (mine and client's) but everything else need only be legible.

A few of my signings have REQUIRED the use of a "date stamp" in each and every place where a date was required; including my acks.

When documents are sent to me, prior to meeting with my client, I electronically add (if needed) the clients choice of notarization. That includes my notary stamp in addition to the requested notary wording. I also add the date and venue electronically as it both looks better and is easier to read compared to hand written.

from: www.dos.ny.gov/licensing/lawbooks/notary.pdf

Signature of Notary Public
A notary public must sign the name under which he was appointed and no other. In addition to his signature and venue, the notary public shall print, typewrite or stamp beneath his signature in black ink, his name, the words “Notary Public State of New York,” the name of the county in which he is qualified, and the date upon which his commission expires (§137, Executive Law).


Today I had occasion to visit the office of the New York County Clerk; the (IMHO) most authoritative experts on NY Notary law and procedures. My task was to have my signature authenticated. They attached the usual form ending in:

IN WITNESS THEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand affixed my official seal this ___________________________

On the line above they "date stamped" - "AUG 07 2012".

Most California Notaries use an inked stamp. Some Notaries use an embosser in addition to their Notary stamps for extra fraud protection.
Notaries are advised to keep their seal in a secure location when not in use.

They don't want preprinted dates of notarization.

For California I don't think that would be prohibited. I've done loose certificates before where I've typed in everything but the stamp and signature on my computer and never had an issue. I have also use jurat stamps which have the state included, again no problems.

Don't know (particularly about CA), but doubt that there are prohibitions against it, excluding a signature stamp without specific permission. A few years ago, my state, Arkansas, decided that the notary's name had to be printed below their signature, so I started using a rubber stamp for that. So far, no complaints from anyone.
