The National Notary Association has developed specialty tools to ensure compliance with professional standards of practice that protect the Notary and the employer against liability. We’ve assembled these tools to help you effortlessly implement best practices into everyday notarizations and guard against risk.
1. Journals & Record Books
Journal records chronicle your official acts and document your attention to proper procedures. The journal can protect the rights of individuals and help Notaries defend themselves against false accusations of wrongdoing. Keeping a journal is sound business practice.

2. Seals, Stamps and Embossers
The imprint of the official seal of the Notary authenticates the Notary’s signature and makes the act official. A high quality stamp or embosser guards against document rejection by ensuring that vital information is complete, clear and legible every time.

4. Notary Certificates
When there’s no room for your seal, signers appear at different times or wording does not comply with your state’s law, Notary certificates make it easy to get the right terminology every time.

5. Inkless Thumbprinter
Thumbprinting is a powerful fraud deterrent, as imposters typically do not wish to leave behind such absolute evidence. The thumbprint is proof that the signer appeared before the Notary, should this later be challenged.
