What the Custom Stamp, Sign & Seal Order Form Is

The Custom Stamp, Sign & Seal Order Form is a standardized document used to request production of physical or electronic stamps, corporate seals, signature stamps, embossers, or notary seals from a vendor or in-house provider.

The form documents authorization to create an official marking that will be affixed to contracts, certificates, deeds, or other records and records who is authorized to use and retain the finished device.
