Where do notaries obtain their seals?

  1. Local government office

  2. Secretary of State

  3. Department of Justice

  4. Professional notary organization

The correct answer is: Secretary of State

Notaries obtain their seals from the Secretary of State because this department is responsible for appointing and commissioning notaries public in most states. Local government offices, such as county clerk's offices, may also issue notary seals in certain states, but this is less common. The Department of Justice and professional notary organizations do not typically issue notary seals.
