I thought it would be "sign, seal and initial" but no initials appear on any of the pages. Could it refer to the stamp with the notary's printed name (appearing under the signature) or to the official headings of the pages? Thanks in advance |

\"rubrico\" in your context means that the person after signing and sealing the document has placed on it its own mark or flourish (typically it\'s a design made out of one or more of the letters of one\'s initials). This is commonly used by lawyers in Puerto Rico.

Sometimes documents are initialed in each of its pages and signed in the last page only, although there might not be a specific space for the initials.
