  2. Contact the Secretary of State office and explain in writing

  3. Report it to the police

  4. Ask a fellow notary for advice

The correct answer is: Contact the Secretary of State office and explain in writing

Explanation Contacting the Secretary of State office and explaining the situation in writing is the correct course of action in this situation. Option A is incorrect as you should not immediately purchase a new stamp without notifying the appropriate authorities. Option C is also incorrect as losing a notary stamp is not a crime that needs to be reported to the police. Option D is incorrect as while seeking advice from a fellow notary can be helpful, it is not the appropriate solution for a lost stamp. Contacting the Secretary of State office is the best course of action as they can guide you on the proper steps to take in order to replace your lost stamp.
