Company Seal (Inkan)
Company Seal (Inkan)
In Japan, a Company Seal (Inkan) is a physical stamp used to authenticate official documents, serving a role akin to a signature in Western countries. For businesses like a Kabushiki Kaisha (KK) or Godo Kaisha (GK), it’s legally required during registration with the Legal Affairs Bureau and for contracts, banking, and government filings. The inkan symbolizes the company’s identity and authority, rooted in Japan’s cultural reliance on seals over handwritten signatures for formal validation. Without it, a company cannot complete registration or operate fully, as it’s tied to the Certificate of Seal Registration (Inkan Tōroku Shōmeisho), proving its legitimacy.
