Description

Notaries public are usually required to take and file an oath of office, and are frequently required to file an official bond. Failure to perform these acts precludes them from becoming such officers. In addition, notaries are sometimes required to file their specimen signatures, but failure to do this does not invalidate their acts. In some states a notary must have an official seal, the purpose of which is to authenticate the document to which it is affixed.
