【Malaysia Company Registration Tips】 Difference and Usage Scenarios of Official Seal and Chop

In daily company operations, the company chop and seal are two very important tools. They are not only used to identify company documents, but also play a key role in legal and management aspects. So, what are the uses of the company chop and seal respectively? Under what circumstances are they used? Who has the authority to use the company chop? In today's content, the FOZL editor will provide you with a detailed analysis of these issues, helping you better understand and manage these important tools within the company.

I. Common Seal (公章)

The company chop is usually a 38mm diameter round seal that can accommodate up to 50 characters. According to regulations, the chop must contain the following information:

• Registered company name (as registered with SSM)

• Company type (abbreviation can be used, such as SDN.BHD.)

When to use the company chop?

The use of the company chop is limited to company directors, the board of directors, company secretary or authorized personnel. Specific usage regulations are usually included in the company's articles of association. The imprint of the company chop can be used for official documents, such as contracts, agreements, minutes of board meetings, etc. These documents require the imprint of the chop to ensure their legal validity and authority.

II. Company Stamp (印章)

Although the company stamp is not a legally mandated tool, it is very useful in daily office tasks. Many companies prepare various types of company stamps for different tasks. The stamp can also include company contact information, such as telephone number and email address.

When to use the company stamp?

Self-inking company stamps are usually used on important documents that do not legally require the imprint of the chop. They can quickly leave a professional mark on the documents, simplifying office procedures. For example, daily letters, invoices, or notices, etc., can use the company stamp to indicate the company's approval or confirmation.
