Key Considerations

- PURPLE INK SEAL MANDATORY for paper notarizations (unique to Utah)
- Black seal for electronic/RON notarizations (purple prohibited for electronic)
- Rectangular seal format (max 1" x 2½") differs from round seals in many states
- Embosser allowed ONLY with purple ink stamp (not standalone)
