State of Connecticut Official Notary Seal Requirements
Connecticut state law does not require that notaries obtain and use a seal or rubber stamp. Even though the use of a seal is optional, state law does prescribe the format of the seal to be used.
The notary seal must include:
- The notary's name as it appears on the certificate of appointment
- The words "Notary Public" and "Connecticut"
State law does give the notary the option of having the words "My Commission Expires (commission expiration date)" appear on the seal. However, most notaries find that it is more practical to have their commission expiration date appear on a separate rubber stamp along with their name and title of notary public.
