No. In fact, doing so defeats the whole purpose of notarization.

When a document is notarized, one of two acts is performed:

1. The notary takes the acknowledgment of the signer, whereby the signer declares in the physical presence of the notary that he or she signed the document voluntarily and understands its contents. The notary must make a layman determination as to the signer's competency. If the notary is not face-to-face with the signer, the notary has no way of knowing whether or not the person signing the document is competent, drunk, or even alive.

2. The notary administers an oath to the signer, where the signer swears that the statements contained in the document are correct. In addition, when administering an oath, the person must sign in the notary's presence. An oath requires a verbal exchange between the notary and the signer and the notary must actually watch the person sign their name.

To conclude, a notary may NEVER affix their seal/stamp to a document unless the person whose signature they are notarizing is actually standing in front of them at the time the seal/stamp is affixed.
