Private seals cannot be engraved casually.

It is casual to engrave the seal of one’s own individual business and it does not constitute a crime. It is not illegal for self-employed individuals to engrave their own seal. However, you must complete the relevant procedures and then go to a designated regular seal engraving shop to engrave the seal, otherwise the seal will be invalid. Engraving other companies' official seals privately may constitute a crime. After the corporate seal is lost, you should immediately go to the company registration authority, which is the original industrial and commercial department, to file a record, explain to the staff the situation of the official seal being stolen, and ask for remedial measures. After the window personnel accept the application, they must first report the loss and make the original loss of the legal person's seal public to the public. This way, there is no need to bear the legal problems caused by others using the official seal. After reporting the loss, go to the industrial and commercial window again to continue handling business. The staff will issue a certificate of loss, and then use this certificate to go to the public security window to handle business. With the loss statement issued by the industrial and commercial department, go to the local government affairs hall to engrave and register the legal person seal. The staff will cancel the original official seal and issue a new registration certificate. After passing the public security filing certificate, a new corporate seal will be engraved at the designated official seal engraving enterprise. The template for the new legal person's seal still needs to be filed with the public security office. After the new legal person seal is carved, you must go to the bank, finance and taxation and other departments to continue the change procedures.

Legally speaking, there are no other risks at this time. Personal seals are very important to individuals, because after printing a personal seal, stamping the seal on relevant documents means that it represents an act of the party concerned. Individuals should be able to engrave, but they cannot violate legal regulations to engrave privately. Private seal is the abbreviation of personal seal, which replaces personal signature and has the same legal effect as signature. In my country's current laws and regulations, there are no relevant regulations on the engraving and filing of private seals. According to the principle that private law follows the principle of freedom without prohibition by law, individual civil subjects enjoy autonomy in the engraving of private seals. However, for those who have special responsibilities and need to use private seals for official purposes, the size and filing requirements of the private seals must comply with the requirements of the relevant agencies. For example, the seal of the legal representative cannot be too large, and it needs to be registered with the account opening bank and other departments.
