1. A serrated or milled edge border in a rectangular form not more than 1 inch in height by 2 1/2 inches in length

2. The words “Official Seal”

3. The notary’s printed name

Illinois Notary Stamp Types

Brother stamps are in a league of their own, featuring superior quality impressions at 600 dpi and up to 50,000 impressions with proper re-inking.  Brother notary stamps use oil-based inks. The Brother 2260 Elite is, in our opinion, the best notary stamp.

The Trodat Printy 4913 Arizona Notary Stamp features a see-through base and replaceable ink cartridge, and comes in over a dozen different colors. Features include:

• A clear base so you can see exactly where you are stamping
• A refillable ink cartridge, allowing you to add thousands more impressions to your stamp
• A replaceable ink cartridge, allowing you to change ink color by changing cartridges
• Water-based ink, resulting in very little bleed-through
• 100% compatible with the Ideal series of stamps

PSI stamps are made from 50% recycled plastic. Above all, our PSI stamps feature laser print quality impressions at 300 dpi, and last twice as long as a traditional self-inking stamp.
