Which set of items is required to appear on the Notarial seal?

• A. the Notary's name; commission number; State of Hawaii; Notary Public
• B. the Notary's name; State of Hawaii; Notary Public
• C. the Notary's name; commission number
• D. commission number; State of Hawaii; Notary Public

Answer: (A)

On a Hawaii notarial seal, the seal must clearly identify who is acting and under which authority. The elements that establish this are the notary’s name, the commission number, the state, and the designation of Notary Public. Including the name ensures you know exactly who performed the notarial act. The commission number ties that person to a specific commissioned appointment, which verifies their official status. Stating the state shows the jurisdiction under which the notary is authorized, and including the words “Notary Public” makes the capacity unmistakable.

Therefore, the set that includes the notary’s name, the commission number, the State of Hawaii, and the designation “Notary Public” provides a complete, verifiable seal. The other options omit at least one essential element—such as the name, the commission number, or the explicit designation of Notary Public—so they don’t convey the full official identity and authority needed.
