How it's used
Refers specifically to the physical seal or stamp used for official signatures in business or banking. While modern digital signatures are common, many traditional institutions still require this physical impression to verify identity. It carries a sense of formality and legal weight that a simple signature might lack in certain contexts.

The contract needs to be stamped with the seal to be valid.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with a rubber stamp used for casual office tasks, which is usually called 圖章. 印鑑 implies a registered, official seal used for legal or financial purposes.
