| Commission
Expires Stamp Notary public offices have commissions. Eventually, these things are going to expire. The purpose of the commission expires stamp is to label, on the document, the expiration of the commission of that particular notary public. Once a commission is up, the office has to re-apply for it and no documents notarized will be accepted. Normally, the document has just one or two lines, including the date of expiration and the words "My commission expires on:" or something to that effect. Some of them have the date in numerical form, like so: DD/MM/YYYY. Others have it spelled out, to avoid the occasional confused person. That, essentially, is the sole purpose of the commission expires stamp. The commission expires stamp, like other stamps, comes in a number of forms. There are the self-inking types, the old, traditional, regular stamps, the slim ones, and the pre-inked stamps. It does not make any difference which one is used, for as long as the intended message is clearly spelled out on the document. They're usually cheap and there are varieties that are sold small enough to fit in a lady's purse or some similarly sized bag. The commission expires stamp is used separately from the usual stamp used by a notary public because not all documents are going to need to have the expiration for the notary on them. Some states require that certain legal documents be stamped with a commission expires stamp while others do not. For the most part, the average person is going to walk in with a document bearing the said stamp, unless you're suing somebody or something. |
