Rhode Island Notary Seals
State of Rhode Island Official Notary Seal Requirements
Rhode Island General Law requires the use of a notary
stamp when notarizing documents.
The stamp shall
be in round (circular) or rectangular form with an edge
border surrounding the required elements of the stamp.
The stamp must include:
- The notary’s name exactly as
it appears on their commission
- The words “Notary Public”
- The words “Rhode Island.”
The stamp may
also include the notary’s identification number and
commission expiration date.
For notaries who have an embosser and wish to continue
using it, they must render the seal with the ability to be
photocopied and/or scanned. This may be accomplished
through the use of a pre-inked seal highlighter. The
highlighter is a round stamp pad that is used in
conjunction with the embosser to make the embossed
seal inked.
