What states require a wet seal and which don't?

[stillfan]

I am specifically looking to know this for the state of NY but would like to know in general where do I look to find this information? I already tried the NY DOB and didn't find anything.

Thanks

It should be in the state statutes, which should be available online. Florida recently allowed a rubber stamp. Only the embosser had been allowed previously.
I'm sure the CMT guys were happy about it. No more hand cramps from stamping a hundred sheets with an embosser.

Not that this should be taken as gospel, but these guys sell the stamps/embossers/images, and claim they meet the specs. Click on a state and it will tell you what they think is allowed:

Florida used to allow just a rubber stamp( a few years ago). Then they went to the embosser and we all had to ante up about $50.00 to get one. Now they are back to the rubber stamp. But it is different than the old rubber stamp. SOoooo back to the store for another stamp.

Thank you Florida

Mike...it was only recently that Florida allowed the stamp. They have always required the embossed seal up until this year.

Montana does not require a wet seal

Many states allow computer-generated stamps now, but I think all still require wet signatures. Some jurisdictions that require multiple plan sets will accept one wet-signed original and copies for the rest.
