What is a corporate seal?

A corporate seal is used to authenticate your company documents.  They come in two variations.  The first variation is an embosser, which creates a 3-D impression on paper. The second type is an inked stamp.  Both variations include the company’s name, incorporation year, and the state in which the company was incorporated.  When company documents are signed the stamp is affixed near the signatures on the document.  Therefore, it is used on a variety of corporate documents (e.g. contracts, agreements, minutes of meetings, etc.).
