Final answer:

The vendor is misinformed. Mary can order only a notary seal embosser, as a notary embosser is not legally recognized in Florida.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is a. the vendor is misinformed. Mary can order only a notary seal embosser. According to Florida law, notaries are required to use an inked stamp. A notary embosser, which creates an raised impression on paper, is not a legally recognized form of notarization in the state of Florida.

For example, if Mary were to order a notary embosser and use it to notarize a document without also using an inked stamp, her notarization would not be considered valid under Florida law.

Therefore, Mary should only order a notary seal embosser if she wants to comply with the legal requirements for notarization in Florida.

Final answer:

Mary cannot order a notary embosser as Florida law only allows notaries to use a notary seal inked stamp.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is b from the options provided to us is - The stamp vendor is right. Florida law does not allow notaries to use a notary seal embosser.

In Florida, notaries are only allowed to use an inked stamp, also known as a notary seal, to authenticate their official acts. The embosser is not recognized as a valid form of notary seal in Florida.

Therefore, Mary cannot order a notary embosser as the law only allows her to use a notary seal inked stamp.
