Authorizes attorney-at-law who validates affidavit, acknowledgment, proof, oath, or affirmation to affix seal indicating that he is attorney-at-law.

This bill (A2530) allows New Jersey attorneys licensed to practice law to optionally affix their official seal when validating legal documents like affidavits, acknowledgments, oaths, or affirmations. It specifies that such validations by attorneys would have the same legal effect as those performed by notaries public under New Jersey law. The change applies only to documents validated per Chapter 14 of Title 46 of the Revised Statutes or R.S. 41:2-1, and attorneys are not required to use the seal.
