Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
My commission recently expired.  Do I have to order a new notary seal or can I line through my old expiration date, make the change and initial it?
 
The Notary Division (Richmond) suggests that you do not mark out your expiration date.  Doing so would make it too easy for anquestion authorized person to make those changes.
 
Acorn Sales Company offers a 20% discount on notary supplies so rather than having the authenticity of your seal questioned, purchase a self-inking stamp that shows the expiration date as
Month/Date/20_____   or    Month/Date/__________
When ordering an official seal self-inking stamp please request
that the commission year be blank in the special instructions area online.

Reminder from the Notary Division: 
A notary has civil and criminal liabilities.
 
Civil liability:  A notary may be sued for any improper and negligent act, which causes injury to another person. 
 
Notaries must keep in mind that they are acting as official witnesses to the identity and actions of the person who appears before them.  The public is entitled to assume that the notary has acted responsibly and according to the law. 
 
Criminal liability:  Any notary, who knowingly and willfully commits official misconduct under the Virginia Notary Act, may be convicted of a misdemeanor.
 
Notaries who intentionally use their powers to perpetuate a fraud or to embezzle or steal from another may be found guilty of a felony. 
 
A notary who knowingly makes a false oath or certificate may be guilty of perjury. 
 
If a person who is not a notary attempts to notarize a document, or otherwise acts as a notary without authority, the impersonator may be found guilty of felony charges.
