That's it your company seal is ready for.MoreThat's it your company seal is ready for.
Corporate seals in the past were imprinted on wax upon a document. As time passed, rubber stamps were preferred and today, most corporate seals are embossed upon a document. Although no longer required, the corporate seal still retains a sense of authenticity and a mark of identity for a corporation.
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.
There are alternatives to a corporate seal for official documentation. ing to state corporation laws, authorized signatures, digital signatures, or embossed stamps can be used as substitutes. These alternatives have legal validity and are recognized as acceptable alternatives to a traditional company seal.
A corporate resolution document does not need to be notarized, although if it involves other transactions then those might have to be notarized. Once the document has been signed off and dated by the chairperson, vice-chairperson, corporate treasurer, and secretary, it becomes a binding document.
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.”
However, a seal could also take other forms, such as the word “seal” placed between brackets after a signature, or the letters “L.S.” (short for locus sigilli, meaning in “the place of the seal”) adjacent to the contracting parties' signatures.
Since the legal requirement for seals was abolished in 1989, we don't see them around much anymore. However, some businesses still like to use them, especially if they are conducting business abroad or if they wish to exude an air of old-world authority.
And just as an individual signs a document as evidence that he or she has approved the document and that it is authentic or official, a seal is used to show that the corporation's or LLC's documents were authorized by management and are official or authentic.
