What are the requirements for a valid Arizona notary seal?

• A. Must be a rubber stamp; Dark ink; No light or glitter ink; Size ≤ 1.5" high × 2.5" wide or ≤1.5" round
• B. Must be a metal stamp; Any ink color; Glitter ink allowed; Size unlimited
• C. Must be self-inking; Dark ink; Light ink allowed; Size ≤2" × 3"
• D. Must be a rubber stamp; Light ink allowed; Size ≤1" diameter

Answer: (A)

Arizona notary seal validity hinges on its physical form and appearance. The seal must be a rubber stamp impression, not a self-inking device or a metal stamp, and it must be inked in a dark color (blue or black) with no light or glitter ink. In terms of size, the imprint should fit within a rectangular area of up to 1.5 inches high by 2.5 inches wide, or be a circular seal no larger than 1.5 inches in diameter. These rules keep the seal legible and standardized on documents. The other options fail because they allow unsuitable stamp types, improper ink (glitter or light), or sizes that exceed the permitted dimensions.
