State corporation statutes continue to authorize corporations to adopt and use corporate seals. But do you really need one for your company? In California and New York, the answer is clearly “no.”
A corporate seal is not a mandatory part of registering a corporation, so you are not provided with a corporate seal by the Secretary of State. Instead, you can obtain one at an office supply retailer. Design your corporate seal. It is up to you to design your corporate seal.
In short, your company can obtain a corporate seal, but in California and New York there is no legal or practical reason to do so.
In California, the decision to use a corporate seal is entirely optional, as it is not a legal requirement for businesses. ing to California Corporations Code section 207(a), corporations have the flexibility to adopt, use, and even alter a corporate seal as they see fit.
