About this situation
Some authorities require a document to carry an original (wet-ink) signature and a physically embossed seal rather than an electronic one. This appointment is held in person so the commissioner can witness your signature and apply the seal by hand to the original.
When people use it
- Where an institution rejects electronic seals
- Certain foreign or embassy submissions
- Original documents that must stay on paper
- Land or financial documents requiring a raised seal
How it works
Start the in-person flow, tell us where you are and who the document is for, and we confirm whether it can be completed online or needs an in-person appointment — before you pay.
