Hello Notary Colleagues, For the goals I set for myself as a Mobile Signing Agent here in Houston I am doing pretty well. According to the Secretary of State I must obtain an E-commission, in order to do IPEN’s and RON’s. However, I must have the following before can acquire it: • E-signature • E-certificate (digital) • E-seal. I already have the first two of the 3 and now I am having trouble finding out how to get the appropriate E-seal without spending unnecessary money. It seems like there are many companies that’s advertising E-seals and yet I am trying to find the one with the best quality and accepted by the most title companies. If there’s any feedback, I would greatly appreciate it. ---

If by E-Seal you are referring to your notary stamp in digital form, I purchased mine for $20.00 from the NNA and it is state compliant to my state. ---

Thank you Dawn. That is precisely what I mean ( Digital form notary stamp / E-Seal is the same thing) lol. I will go to the NNA site to look for a Texas E-seal. Your feedback is appreciated. ---

@barksdale.reece from what I’m finding you get your e-seal from your RON vendor as it has to be compatible not only with your state laws but with that vendor. ---

You can actually create your own e-seal image suitable for uploading to the certifying agency site to be used in your electronic signings. I’ve done it twice with no issues or pushback. Instructions outlined in [this](http://forum.notarycafe.com/t/electronic-notary-seal/13095) topic. Just a thought. ---

I considered doing that, but my state is very specific so I just paid to have it done. Some sites actually make it for you. ---

Hi there, I am also in Texas and I got my digital seal created for $10.00 from [notarystamps.com](http://notarystamps.com). However! I am signed up with Notarize platform and they provided me with a digital seal as part of my onboarding. It’s nice to have one free and clear that I own, but you may want to check the platform you plan to use for RONs and see if it is included. Ditto the digital certificate. I paid $132 to get one from IdenTrust (which Notarize requires), but some platforms, such as PandaDocNotary provide them as part of the annual licensing fee. I figured out a lot of this the expensive way, but I am happy ot have learned it. Best to you! ---
