A distinctive element on a Hawaii notary's seal is:

• a.The signer's photo
• b.The notary's certification/identification number✓
• c.The county sheriff's name
• d.The document's title

A Hawaii notary seal shows the notary's name, 'Notary Public,' 'State of Hawaii,' and the certification/identification number assigned by the Attorney General. That certification number, tying each act to the specific notary, is a distinctive Hawaii feature.

If a Hawaii notary's seal is lost or stolen, the notary should:

• a.Notify the Attorney General✓
• b.Do nothing
• c.Keep using a backup
• d.Notify only the signer

A lost or stolen seal should be reported to the Hawaii Attorney General to prevent fraudulent use. The seal must be kept secure, used only by the commissioned notary, and disposed of so it cannot be misused when the commission ends.
