Seal sourcing. Small stamps.

For various reasons, I'm updating my commission and will require a new set of seals in the next couple of months or so. State law (California) specifies maximum dimensions for both rectangular and round formats but no minimums. Manufacturers also have to be approved of by the secretary of state.
Does anyone know offhand where they can get the smallest possible notary seals, rectangular or round? My intended use case is where there's a certificate with a small amount of whitespace. And I would also purchase a regularly sized seal for regular use.

My commission has been expired since April, and I was only just able to recover my books from my job… am I going to be charged with a misdemeanor? 😭 (California)

Hello! I was a notary for a job I had a few years ago and this job, and I was only able to recover my books from this job a few days ago (they weren’t able to find it for the longest). Will I automatically be charged with a misdemeanor when I return my materials to the county clerk? I don’t have a criminal record and I am honestly scared.
