Must the stamp be used for every type of notary use?

can a paper be legally binding when the notary has written all needed info, but did not use the stamp???

I hope that makes sense, sorry, im trying.

found it, but cant understand it. maybe im too tired besides being too old


(3)(a) A notary public seal shall be affixed to all notarized paper documents and shall be of the rubber
stamp type and shall include the words “Notary Public-State of Florida.” The seal shall also include the
name of the notary public, the date of expiration of the commission of the notary public, and the commission
number. The rubber stamp seal must be affixed to the notarized paper document in photographically
reproducible black ink. Every notary public shall print, type, or stamp below his or her signature on a paper
document his or her name exactly as commissioned. An impression-type seal may be used in addition to the
rubber stamp seal, but the rubber stamp seal shall be the official seal for use on a paper document, and the
impression-type seal may not be substituted therefor.

????help, do you understand this to be saying the seal and stamp is the only official one, and the print or type ones are really not official, meaning not legal in court? huh????im so confused again.

The notary must affix their stamp to all notarized documents. Copes are just that...copies.
