Guides on this
- Digital stamp legality 28 August 2026: The honest answer is that the stamp is rarely the thing the law is looking at. What matters is who applied it, to what, and whether that can be shown afterwards.
- Certified true copy stamps: the wording that has to be there 3 September 2026: A certified true copy stamp is not decoration. It is a statement somebody can be held to, and it needs four things on it to mean anything.
- Digital signature, electronic seal and a stamp: three different things 4 September 2026: People use these three words for one thing. They are three different things, only one of which we make, and knowing which you have been asked for saves a rejected filing.
- Lawyer digital stamps 21 August 2026: A law practice does not need one stamp, it needs six or seven. Here is what each one is for, why numbering each impression to a matter closes a real billing leak, and how to apply one from a phone without going back to the office.
- Electronic seals, electronic stamps and e-stamps 30 August 2026: Three phrases, three different things: an image on the page, a cryptographic instrument issued by a trust service provider, and a stamp duty certificate. Here is how to tell them apart.
- Fake stamps: how to spot one on a document 28 August 2026: A forged stamp almost never fails on the design. It fails on the things around the design, and those are easy to check once you know where to look.
- Company seals: are they still required, and where 12 August 2026: Most answers to this question pick one country and write as though it applied everywhere. The honest answer changes considerably by jurisdiction.
- Justice and court stamps: who presses what 3 September 2026: Justice stamp covers four different marks pressed by four different people. Only two of them are yours to make.
- Notary stamps: the wording your commission requires 28 August 2026: A notary stamp is one of the few stamps whose contents are prescribed rather than chosen, which makes getting the wording right the whole job.
- Official stamps: what the word actually means 3 September 2026: People ask for an official stamp and mean one of five different things. Sorting out which one you have been asked for saves ordering the wrong mark.
Estamplab is a design tool. These articles describe common commercial practice rather than giving legal, medical, tax or financial advice, and practice changes. What a notarial, professional or medical mark must carry is set by the authority that issued the commission, registration or licence, so check the requirement with them. Only produce a mark you or your organisation are entitled to use.
