Every Irish-registered company is legally required to hold a Company Seal (sometimes referred to as the ‘Common Seal’) which must feature the company name engraved in legible characters. The purpose of company seals is to emboss official company documents which ensures authenticity. For example, all company share certificates are required to be embossed with the company’s seal beside the officer’s signature. The Companies Act 2014 provides that company seals shall only be used with the authority of the directors or a committee of directors.
