What is eStamp?

A digital replacement for a physical company stamp, overlaid on a signed document for visual authority.

An eStamp is a digital image, typically a company seal or revenue stamp, that's overlaid on a signed document to convey the same authority a physical stamp would. In many jurisdictions (Kenya, Nigeria, India, parts of EU, Middle East), a company chop or revenue stamp is expected on commercial contracts even when the eSignature is the actual legal binding. PDF Verified ships an eStamp designer that lets owners create one or more stamps and drop them onto documents like a signature field.

Design your company stamp or seal now. Round seals, dated stamps and approval marks, with a date that fills itself in and a serial number that never repeats. Free to design, and it goes straight onto a PDF, a Word file or an Excel sheet.

eStamp designer

In Settings → Stamps, owners can create stamps from scratch (text + shape + colour) or upload an image. Each stamp is reusable across documents and is colour-tinted by signer when applied.

eStamp vs digital signature

An eStamp is visual; a digital signature is cryptographic. The eStamp doesn't add legal binding on its own, it's a presentation layer. The real binding is the captured eSignature + audit trail underneath. But for cultures and industries where a stamp is expected, the eStamp removes friction.

Verified stamp library

Beyond the quick eStamp, PDF Verified Business ships a verified stamp library (Settings → Stamps) where each stamp can carry an auto-incrementing serial number and a public QR verification link. Every time a stamp is applied, the usage is logged with its own /verify-stamp/:token record so a third party can confirm it is genuine and not revoked.

What PDF Verified is, and what it is not

A stamp identifies who issued a document. It is evidence rather than a formality that makes a document binding on its own, and it should only ever be made and applied for a business or an office you are authorised to act for: a mark that imitates another organisation in order to pass a document off as theirs is forgery in most places. Where a registry, a bank or a counterparty requires a particular form of seal, that requirement comes from them.

PDF Verified is a tool for preparing, signing, stamping and checking documents. It is not a law firm, a compliance service or a forensic examiner, and nothing here is legal, financial or compliance advice. Requirements differ by country, by document type and by the party asking, so check what applies to your document before you rely on it, and take advice where the document matters. You are responsible for the documents you create, sign and send, and for having the authority to do so: signing or stamping in somebody else name, or as an organisation you do not represent, is forgery whatever tool is used. To the extent the law allows, we accept no liability for how a document made with this tool is used or relied on. The full position is in our terms of service.
