Stamp for a limited company (Ltd)
A limited company stamp carries the details a Ltd company is expected to show: the registered name in full, ending in Limited or Ltd, the company registration number, and the registered office or town. Type them once, choose a round seal or a rectangular office stamp, and preview it live. Download a transparent PNG or apply it straight to a PDF, with optional serialized, QR-verifiable output.

Design tips that make a Limited Company Stamp look official
- Export as a transparent PNG. A stamp with a white box behind it looks pasted-on the moment it touches letterhead; a transparent one sits cleanly over text and lines.
- Keep ring text short. On round seals, the company or authority name curves around the edge, 40–60 characters reads best. Put registration or licence numbers on the bottom arc.
- Use a light aging texture. A slight fade reads like a genuine inked impression instead of a sticker. The stamp maker has a texture slider for exactly this.
- Classic ink colors read as official. Deep blue and red are the conventions for Limited Company Stamps; keep logos monochrome inside the seal.
Make it verifiable, the upgrade rubber can't match
The weakness of every physical Limited Company Stamp is that one photographed impression can be copy-pasted onto anything. PDF Verified fixes this with serialization: each application can carry a unique serial number and a QR code that resolves to a public verification page showing who issued the stamp and which document it belongs to. A pasted image fails that scan instantly, which flips the forgery economics of the Limited Company Stamp completely.
Is a digital Limited Company Stamp legally valid?
In most jurisdictions the signature makes the document binding and the stamp is supporting evidence of authority, and electronic seals are recognised wherever commercial practice expects them (Kenya's KICA, the UAE's Electronic Transactions Law, eIDAS in the EU). A serialized digital Limited Company Stamp actually carries more evidential weight than ink, because it comes with a tamper-evident record of when and where it was applied.

What should a limited company stamp say?
The registered name in full, including the Limited or Ltd suffix exactly as it appears on the register, plus the company registration number. Many companies add the registered office town, a “for and on behalf of” line, or a date. Whatever you put on it should match the register, because identifying the company is the entire job of the stamp.
Is a company seal required for a limited company?
In most places it no longer is. The UK made the common seal optional under the Companies Act 2006 and a number of other jurisdictions have since followed, so documents are normally executed by signature rather than under seal. The stamp stays useful as everyday proof of which company issued a document, which is the part a serialized, verifiable stamp does better than ink.
Does this work for a Pvt Ltd or a PLC?
Yes. The stamp is text and a shape, so it suits a Ltd, a Pvt Ltd, a limited company or a public limited company in any country. Put your registered name and number on it and it reads correctly wherever it is used.
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.
