Company Stamps vs. Seals: Understanding Their Roles and Differences
Businesses worldwide use stamps and seals for various administrative and legal purposes. While both serve to mark documents, they differ in usage and legal weight. Let's explore the distinction and their roles.
Company stamps, also known as rubber stamps, are used for administrative tasks. They can be customised for specific uses like 'Received', 'Paid', or 'Approved'. These stamps are not legally binding and do not carry the same weight as a company seal. They are used for internal documents, authorising invoices, and marking business letters.
On the other hand, company seals are used for formal and legally binding documents. They authenticate important company documents, ensuring they reflect the business name and brand. These seals are used on valuable or official documents such as share certificates, legal agreements, and meeting minutes. The company seal features an embossed design, often including the business name, registration number, and logo. In some jurisdictions, using a company seal is legally required for certain documents.
