Labels are a bad idea; if for no other reason than it is not possible to tell if something has been "covered up". I suppose a clear backing could be used, but why the extra weirdness and expense? A stiff label would not pass thru a fax machine. A label probably could be removed - probably destroying the original document - but subsequently glued to a different document it might look just fine.

Windshield replacement shops, I know - once had a windshield replaced; have the skill to remove the "unmovable" NY State inspection sticker and affix it to the new windshield.

A stamp is a completely different concept than a label. Labels can be removed.

I have been using a jurat stamp for years now without any complaints as long as it doesnt go over any wording, right on the same document, as I feel it is safer than having to attach a certificate. I had an acknowledgement stamp made too but dont use it because it is so big that it is hard to get a good impression of it so I attached an ack and fill it out completely with thumbprint, even though it is optional. It identifies where it was attached and most importantly proves that they actually appeared..

I heard on NR, that there were notaries using labels for certificate wording. One notary claimed that if the sticky material on the label is good enough, you can not take the label off without damaging the document beyond repair.

Do any of the notaries have experience with labels?
Do you recommend against them, or is it okay?
Is it legal in your state to use a label?

I do not recall government notary code ever discussing this issue. I would recommend against using labels, because it invites unnecessary questions and potential problems.
