What can a notary public do when a notarial certificate is on a separate paper attached to the document?

When a notarial certificate is on a separate piece of paper attached to the document, it is permissible for the notary public to utilize an additional imprint of the seal for identification. This practice helps ensure that the notarial act is clearly associated with the document to which the certificate is attached. The additional seal provides an official identification of the notary’s involvement and validates the authenticity of the notarial act, confirming that the notary has performed the required duties in accordance with legal standards.

While it's essential for the notary to securely attach the certificate to the original document, the use of an additional seal enhances the clarity and integrity of the notarial process. This practice is in line with standard notarial procedures which stress the importance of authenticity and proper identification in all notarizations.
