Therefore, the stamp cannot be made until after a notary receives his or her notary commission from the state. After the state emails your notary commission certificate, we at notaries.com will automatically make your stamp, which you will have pre-ordered, and send it to you within 10 days of receiving your commission. Texas requires all notaries to keep a journal of their activities.
