Company Seal
A company seal may be used alongside authorised signatures to execute business documents. Whether a seal is required depends on the entity’s registered signing authority and the documents involved.
Company Seal Changes and Registration
Companies or partnerships that already have a seal but wish to change to a new one, or whose seal has been lost with no impression of the original seal design kept on file, must register a change of seal or a new rubber stamp.
For a limited company, the law does not require the registration of a seal amendment to be approved by a shareholders’ meeting or a board meeting; therefore, no meeting resolution needs to be cited. You may prepare the documents and make the new seal, and then file to register the change immediately (if there is a meeting resolution, state the meeting details in the application). For a limited partnership, the consent of all partners is required, or as specified in the partnership agreement. The old seal must be stamped on the registration application. If the old seal has been lost, write the words “seal lost” in place of the seal impression; if the seal is too damaged to be stamped, write “seal damaged”.
Steps to Register an Amendment to the Company Seal
Amending a company seal or partnership seal involves only a few steps, namely:
- Limited company: if desired, a shareholders’ meeting or board meeting may be held to pass a resolution to amend the seal (rubber stamp), but the law does not require it · Limited partnership: all partners must consent, or agree as provided in the partnership agreement
- Prepare the application documents to register the change to a new seal
- File the registration application with the Department of Business Development (DBD) online via the DBD Biz Regist system. The applicant is the authorised director as registered (for a limited partnership, the managing partner), or another person may be authorised by power of attorney to file on the applicant’s behalf
- Once the application is submitted, the Department of Business Development reviews the documents and processes the registration. Preparing accurate information can help reduce avoidable delays.
Correct Seal Formats
- A company seal with a Thai company name must begin with the word “Borisat” (Company) and end with the word “Chamkat” (Limited). The lettering must be clear.
- A company seal with an English name must end with CO., LTD. or COMPANY LIMITED, in either lowercase or uppercase letters. The lettering must be clear.
- A limited partnership seal with a Thai partnership name must begin with the words “Hang Hunsuan Chamkat” (Limited Partnership), followed by the name of that partnership. The lettering must be clearly visible.
- A limited partnership seal with an English partnership name must end with LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, in either uppercase or lowercase letters. The lettering must be clearly visible.
- Finally, if the seal does not show the full company or partnership name as it appears on the name reservation form, the opening and closing words specified in the 4 points above are not required.
