Notary Stamp Everyone knows that a notary public has to have a stamp. Now, some recent changes to the law states that the seals and stamps have to be of only one color and show up as black when photocopied. Interesting, since some of them use 2-color notary stamps. Of course, most of us are probably wondering what in the world a 2-color notary stamp is in the first place. Pretty much, notary publics use stamps to signify that a particular document, like say, a transcript or power of attorney, is recognized as being legally binding. Typically, they contain the notary's name, the date when their license expires, and, ideally, the date of when the document was notarized. So, with that in mind, what exactly is a 2-color notary stamp? Well, simply put, it is a notary stamp with 2 colors. There really isn't much of a difference between the single color and dual colored ones, as far as anyone outside the legal profession can tell. There aren't any consequence for using one instead of the other, but most notary offices prefer to use the single-color variety, since this simplifies things. You have to wonder what the big fuss is about with the law requiring that only one color be on all seals and stamps when there's really not much of a difference between that and the 2-color notary stamp. One must assume that this bias against the 2-color notary stamp is simply for legal protection concerns, much like how these stamps are required to photocopy as black, regardless of the original color. |
