Today all important documents are certified by a seal
For example, a seal or stamp. Their appearance in human life was not accidental. Their purpose is to provide additional security for an individual's activities by enhancing their individualization. It is also important to remember that one of the main purposes of a seal is to certify the authenticity of documents.
Now seals can be round, oval, rectangular, and so on. The shape of a seal is very important when it comes to official documents. For example, triangular seals are affixed to most certificates in any clinic and are issued with a triangular seal. Also, the triangular seal is used in everyday practice by institutions that need to monitor the flow of documents and internal papers.
And the most famous use of a round seal is the «stamp in a passport», which girls eagerly await and boys fear equally.
Rectangular or so-called «information stamps» are seals on which information about the institution, contact details, and so on are embossed.
And there are also small stamps of indefinite shape. Most often they are some flowers, animals, cartoon characters, and the like. Such seals carry no legal weight and are intended for the entertainment of small children.
In fact, today no serious document can be imagined without a seal, and moreover, due to the absence of a seal, a document may be declared invalid. For example, in order for a person to be officially recognized as the owner of real estate, they need to have a document certified by the seal of the registration service. After that, the person is officially recognized as the full owner of the real estate.
At the same time, the presence of a seal on a document form strictly defines the limits of responsibility of the parties, but it refers to additional requirements for filling out documents, that is, it is not mandatory. Nevertheless, domestic legislation establishes the obligation of legal entities to have their own seal for certifying documents.
