Government and public office seal templates
A government seal template gives you the formal ring-and-centre layout a public office mark uses, with room for the department, the jurisdiction and an authority line.
These are formal layouts for departmental and public office use. One thing worth being plain about: producing a mark that impersonates a public body you do not represent is forgery, and the terms of use here prohibit it. These templates are for the office that is entitled to the mark.
Questions
Can I make a government seal online?
You can design the layout here if you are entitled to use the mark. Producing a seal that impersonates a public body you do not represent is forgery in essentially every jurisdiction and is prohibited by the terms of use.
What goes on a department seal?
The name of the department, the government or jurisdiction it belongs to, and often an authority line or a device. Local practice varies considerably.
What shape are government seals?
Almost always round, with the authority curving around the ring and the device or department in the centre. That convention is what makes the mark read as official.
Can these be used on digital documents?
The design downloads as a transparent PNG or an SVG and goes on a PDF like any other mark. Whether a particular official document may be stamped digitally is set by the body issuing it.
Estamplab is a design tool. These templates describe common commercial practice rather than giving legal, medical, tax or financial advice, and practice changes. Notarial, medical and professional marks are governed by the authority that issued your commission, registration or licence, so check the requirement with them. Only produce a mark you are entitled to use.
