Company stamp maker for Malaysia

The Companies Act 2016 made the common seal optional in Malaysia, though the everyday cop syarikat carrying the SSM number remains standard on invoices, letters and forms.

Open the stamp maker

Malaysia separates two things that get confused. The common seal, which the Companies Act 2016 made optional, was the formal instrument for executing documents. The cop syarikat is the everyday rubber stamp identifying the company on paperwork, and that one is as common as ever.

What a company stamp in Malaysia usually carries

The company name as registered with SSM.
The registration number in the current SSM format, and often the old format alongside it.
The registered or business address on a rectangular cop.
The SST number on stamps used for invoicing where the company is registered for it.

Why make it digitally

Government and bank forms are where the stamp is still most reliably expected.
SSM registration numbers were reformatted, and many companies show both, which is easier to lay out digitally.
A change of address means a new die in rubber and an edit here.

Questions

Does a Malaysian company need a common seal?

No. Section 61 of the Companies Act 2016 made it optional, and a company may execute documents by signature of authorised officers instead. The everyday cop syarikat is a different thing and remains standard.

What number goes on the cop?

The SSM registration number. Numbers were reformatted, so many companies show the new format with the old one in brackets, which avoids a counterparty failing to match it.

Is a cop the same as a common seal?

No, and the distinction matters. A common seal executes documents under the Act. A cop syarikat identifies the company on invoices, letters and forms and carries no execution effect.

This describes common commercial practice rather than giving legal advice, and practice changes. Where a specific document matters, check the requirement with the body receiving it.
