Company seal maker for South Korea
A Korean corporate seal used for execution is registered with the court registry, and a certificate of the registered seal impression is what counterparties actually rely on.
Korea runs on registered seals. The corporate seal, the beopin dojang, is registered with the court registry office, and a counterparty verifying a document does not examine the impression itself but asks for the seal certificate that proves it is the registered one.

Questions
Can a seal made here be my registered corporate seal?
No. A corporate seal used for execution must be carved and registered with the court registry, and its authority comes from the registration and the seal certificate rather than from the design. This makes an image, which is fine for everyday and internal use.
What is a seal certificate?
A certificate issued by the registry confirming the registered seal impression. Counterparties ask for it alongside a sealed document, because it is the certificate rather than the impression that proves authority.
Is Korea moving away from seals?
Slowly, with electronic signature and certificate systems widely used alongside them. Registered seals remain standard for corporate execution and for dealings with courts and registries.
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.
