Do not stamp over your signature!!!

There are occasions when the notary will observe that there is not enough room for the placement of the notary stamp. The notary stamp impression must not overlap the notary's signature or any other text in the notarized document or notary certificate. Many agencies will reject a notarized document where the notary stamp obliterates other essential writing on the document. When there is not ample room for the full notary stamp to fit on the document to be notarized, the notary should attach a loose notary certificate to the document.

In NY we can have stamps of many sizes, and actually do not need one. If you prefer to use a stamp, never stamp over your signature!!!
