What is a corporate seal?
A Corporate Seal is a customized embossing stamp that contains the name, date and state of formation of your company. In some jurisdictions a corporate seal can be required to open a company bank account. It is typically used on company documents to mark them as official. The Corporate seal is included in the Corporate/LLC Kit.
Corporate Seals are official identifying marks that are imprinted into clay, wax, or metal. The first use of seals appeared in Mesopotamia around 4000 BC. From the time of early European influence, seals were a part of Canadian administrative life. Seals represent power and authority and were used as signatures are today: to authenticate a document. In Canada, it is believed that municipal governments did not begin using Corporate Seals until the nineteenth century. However, Saint John became incorporated in 1785. In the nineteenth century a new emblematic approach developed, one often inspired by technical innovations connected with the Industrial Revolution or by Canadian subjects such as a maple leaf and a beaver.
