1 U.S.C. § 114 — Sealing of instruments

submitted 79 years ago by ch. 388 to r/title-1-GENERAL-PROVISIONS · 62 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

This law explains how to legally seal a document. If a seal is required by law for a commission, process, or other legal document, an impression works. Pressing the seal directly into the paper counts as valid, just like wax or another adhesive.

This section covers legal seals on official documents. Sometimes a law requires a seal on a commission, process, or other legal instrument that a law of Congress provides for. This section allows one specific way of making that seal. It is legal to create the proper seal by pressing it directly into the paper itself, making an impression right on the document. That method counts as just as valid as making the seal on wax or another adhesive substance.

In all cases where a seal is necessary by law to any commission, process, or other instrument provided for by the laws of Congress, it shall be lawful to affix the proper seal by making an impression therewith directly on the paper to which such seal is necessary; which shall be as valid as if made on wax or other adhesive substance.
