I have a legal document, but I am not sure which one I should use.
Is the stamp a dry mark or on wax and the seal uses ink?

Hello Daniel:)
"The term 'seal' can refer to a device used to make an impression in wax or paper, as well as the actual impression itself. 'Stamp' refers to a rubber stamp, a device where ink is applied to an image, pattern or text that has been moulded onto a sheet of rubber and mounted on a block.Sep 3, 2015"

Thank you, Vicente. I also got confused because you can stamp a seal, right?
I think so, in some cases. I have seen Notary Public seals stamped although they are usually embossed onto a document with a mechanical seal. If the notary signs the stamped seal then I think they are legally acceptable.Quote:

The confusion is probably due to my badly worded answer.Quote:

I hope I haven't added to the confusion. :p
And What about a post stamp? Can we use the term Stamp only too?
Exactly, shouldn't the post stamp be a seal and use the post seal when we use the rubber device with ink?
Seals may leave a raised impression on the paper, they can be embedded as a watermark or computer-generated. Stamps validate documents with an inked emblem or identification. The use of both or either of them depends on document type and state law. https://www.theclassroom.com/the-dif...-12080996.html
To sum up, seals are raised and stamps use ink. That was complicated.
Seals may leave an impression embossed or raised on the document, be embedded as a watermark to prevent forgery or be generated by computers. Stamps validate with an inked emblem or identity the originality and signatures of a document. Using a seal, a stamp or both relies on the type of document and the law of the state.
Hi, I should say Spanish is a very interesting language if you learn it with native speakers, so it's easier and interesting to learn.
