Official seals and seals with coats of arms
From 13th December, 1927, by the decision of the President of the Republic of Poland, the only place where all official seals shall be legally manufactured is Mennica Polska.
What are seals?
A seal is a symbol and proof of credibility of individuals and legal entities. Seals certify the authenticity of letters and official documents. They can also serve as a security measure for official documents preventing them from being opened. Seals are punched by special dies with a specific emblem dedicated to a given entity. From December 13, 1927, by the decision of the President of Poland, the only place where all seals with the national emblem of Poland (so-called official seals) shall be legally manufactured is Mennica Polska.
Who can place an order?
Official seals can be ordered by authorized legal institutions which were mentioned in §17 item 1 of the Regulation of the Council of Ministers of 7th December, 1955 on Official Plates and Seals. According to the Regulation, withdrawn official seals accompanied by a cover letters shall be immediately delivered to Mennica Polska by registered mail or courier, as specified in §17 of the Regulation.
