official seals
Governmental authentication emblems
Official seals are emblems or stamps used by governments, institutions, or authorized persons to authenticate documents.
A seal might be pressed into wax, embossed into paper, or printed as an image.
The presence of an official seal certifies that a document is genuine and carries legal authority: The notary applied her official seal to the contract.
Seals typically incorporate distinctive designs, text, or symbols identifying the issuing authority.
