What Is on an OK Corporate Seal?

An Oklahoma corporation may use its corporate seal as a signature and as proof of the company's legal existence. Some banks may require a Oklahoma corporation to sign important banking documents using the company's corporate seal.
  1. Considerations

    • The state of Oklahoma does not require an Oklahoma corporation to use a corporate seal, according to the Oklahoma Commissioners of the Land Office website. An officer of the Oklahoma corporation, such as the president, may sign the company's legal and tax documents in lieu of using a corporate seal.

    State

    • The word "Oklahoma" appears on an Oklahoma corporation's corporate seal. Having "Oklahoma" on a corporation's seal indicates the company is legally organized in the state of Oklahoma.

    Date

    • An Oklahoma corporation's corporate seal reflects the exact date that the company officially became a corporation in the state of Oklahoma. The year, month and date of incorporation are included on the seal.

    Name

    • The legal name of an Oklahoma corporation is included on the company's corporate seal. This serves as a way for banks, vendors and other interested parties to easily identify an Oklahoma corporation.
