1. Legal nature of Hong Kong companies
Hong Kong companies can design seals at will. The seal of the highest power in law is steel seal, which can only be used under very important circumstances. Basically, it is only used when buying a car, a house or a stock. If it is not very important, you can print with atoms. Whether a document (such as a power of attorney) is stamped or not is up to you, but it must be used in special circumstances. It should be noted that any seal must have the word "representative" in order to legally represent a company. Generally, it is best to use a square seal.

In addition, the documents of Hong Kong companies, even if stamped with the seal of Hong Kong companies, cannot be directly used in China, because the authenticity of Hong Kong company documents cannot be determined in China, and can only be used in China after notarization and transmission procedures. Notarization process of Hong Kong documents: First, China, which is recognized by the Ministry of Justice, needs to entrust a notary to handle notarization procedures, and then it will be sent to China Legal Service (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. for chapter transfer procedures. When handling, Hong Kong lawyers first go back to the Hong Kong Companies Registry to check the company documents. If a signed document is involved, the signer needs to sign in front of a notary public.
