1 Miss. Code. R. 5-7.4 - Legible Signature Required

When signing a paper certificate, the notary public shall use a legible, recognizable handwritten signature, which can be attributed to the notary public performing the notarial act by anyone examining or authenticating the signature. If a notary public's preferred signature is not legible and recognizable, the notary public must also legibly print his name immediately adjacent to his preferred signature. For the purposes of this chapter, a signature is legible and recognizable if the letters are distinct and easily readable and the notary public's full name may be clearly discerned by looking at the signature.
