What is an electronic notary seal??
When a state allows electronic notarization or remote online notarization, regulations may require that the electronically signed documents be stamped with a digital notary seal. Not every state with eNotaries will require this, but if so, an electronic stamp will be used to prove that the document was officially notarized and show details about the notary.?
?Electronic seals are different than digital certificates. Vendors produce the electronic seal based on state requirements, and it is associated with the specific notary.?
