§29C-4-102. Rubber stamp seal.

Under or near his official signature on every notarial certificate, a notary public shall rubber stamp clearly and legibly, so that it is capable of photographic reproduction:
(a) The words "Official Seal";
(b) His name exactly as he writes his official signature;
(c) The words "Notary Public,""State of West Virginia" and "My Commission expires (commission expiration date)";
(d) The address of his business or residence in this state; and
(e) A serrated or milled edge border in a rectangular form not more than one inch in width by two and one-half inches in length surrounding the information.
No person holding a notary commission pursuant to former section two, article four, chapter twenty-nine on the effective date of this chapter may be required to obtain or use a rubber stamp seal prior to the expiration of that commission. However, such a notary who was appointed for one or more counties of the state may obtain and use the rubber stamp seal prior to the expiration of that commission if the name of the county in which the notarial act is performed is on the seal used for that act.
