Can a newly appointed notarize without a seal stamp?

A newly appointed VA notary told me he could not notarize any documents because he had not ordered his stamp. After July 1 2008,Va Notaries are now required to have reproducible seals. If a notary does notarize, the notary must sign the document,state clearly whether the notary did a jurat or acknowledgement,check the client's government photo id,determine if the client is cognisant of the document's content, write down the notary's commission expiration date, write down the location of the notarization (county or town Commonwealth of VA), write down the notary appointment number on the document, write down the date of the notarization, most important, the notary client needs to sign the document in the presence of the notary!!!!!!!!!!!!!It is highly recommended you have the client sign your notary book first and record the type of government photo id presented. You are required to have a notary seal asof July1, 2008 . If the client does not have a government photo ID, read my blog entry "No ID No Notarization?".
