FAQ
That's it your company seal is ready for.MoreThat's it your company seal is ready for.
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.”
LLCs often use the digital corporate seal on the Operating Agreement, membership certificates, banking resolutions, invoices, receipts, et al. Corporations can use their corporate seal on their bylaws, stock certificates, and meeting minutes to make them official.
A Notary seal is placed near the Notary's signature on the certificate. Some certificates contain "L.S.," which is the abbreviation of the term Locus Sigilli, which translates to "place of the seal." If you see that term on a certificate, place your seal near "L.S." on the certificate and not over the words.
Having a seal affixed to a document can help prevent fraud, as someone attempting to use a counterfeit document presumably would not have access to the corporate or company seal. Using a seal makes the corporation's or LLC's documents stand out.
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.
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.
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.

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.
