In order to have your Pennsylvania Notary stamp made, you must send your blank bond letter to an authorized seal or stamp manufacturer.

Pennsylvania Notary Stamp Requirements

What information has to be included on the stamp?

A Pennsylvania Notary Stamp is required to contain the following information:

  • The words “Commonwealth of Pennsylvania” and “Notary Seal”
  • The Notary’s name, exactly as it appears on their commission, and the words “Notary Public”
  • The county in which the Notary filed their bond and took their oath of office
  • The date that the Notary’s commission term expires
  • The Notary’s unique commission number

The stamp impression can be as high as 1 inch, and 3 1/2 inches wide, with a plain border.

Can I use an embosser instead of a stamp?

Notaries commissioned in Pennsylvania may use a Notary embosser in addition to a rubber stamp. Using an embosser does not replace the rubber Notary stamp.
