Under what condition can a notary public use a facsimile signature stamp?

A notary public in Ohio is permitted to use a facsimile signature stamp specifically in cases where they have a physical disability that makes it challenging to sign documents in a traditional manner. This provision recognizes the need for accessibility and ensures that notaries who may have limitations can still perform their duties effectively.

To facilitate this process, the notary must notify the Secretary of State regarding their use of a facsimile signature stamp due to their disability. This requirement ensures there is an official record and recognition of the notary's circumstances, providing transparency and maintaining the integrity of the notarization process.

The other options do not align with the regulations governing notary practice. Approval from a supervisor or the request of a signer does not meet the specific criteria set forth by the law for using a facsimile signature stamp. Similarly, the allowance for using a facsimile signature stamp "for all documents" would undermine the unique provisions meant for those with disabilities, which is not supported by Ohio notary laws.
