A judicial seal is an official mark or emblem used by a court or judicial authority to signify the authenticity of documents, orders, or judgments. This seal often includes the name of the court, its location, and sometimes the date. It serves to validate legal documents, ensuring they are recognized in legal proceedings. Judicial seals are important in various legal contexts, such as in civil cases, criminal cases, and family law. They help prevent fraud and ensure that documents are legitimate. When a document bears a judicial seal, it is generally accepted as credible evidence in legal matters.
