Common Seal

A common seal—also known as a corporate seal or company seal—is an official stamp used by businesses and organizations to endorse and authenticate formal documents. It represents the company’s authorization and is often required for validating legal or contractual agreements.

• Authentication: Serves as an official mark of authenticity, verifying that a document has been formally approved by the organization.
• Legal Requirement: In certain jurisdictions, the use of a common seal is mandated by law for specific documents such as contracts, resolutions, or deeds.
• Design: Typically engraved with the organization’s name, registration number, and sometimes its logo, ensuring easy identification and authority.
• Formal Approval: Represents the organization’s binding consent, often used during board resolutions, legal agreements, or financial authorizations.
