embossing

So what official document are you trying to forge? I think that if I knew, I would hesitate to tell you.

GWE

Why the Constitution of course, if anybody has any serious replies I would be grateful...

Sorry, but I read your post and resulting defensive response with evasiveness rather telling.

What's next, you wander into the lockpicking group asking how to pick a lock?

well I asked a straightforward question about embossing, how long do I have to make the post to reassure you? I don't want go off track from my question anymore so I'll just say if you think I'm some diabolical criminal don't respond and I'll find some other way to further my nefarious schemes. However if someone knows a little about making metal stamps and wants to be helpful I'll be thankful.

Look it is easy to do. Just take the original seal into the engraving shop and ask them to sell you a new seal with the same design.

Show of hands. What sort a seal do we think it is?

Notary?

Court?

???

My guess would be that it is the seal for the county recorders office or what ever office certifies birth certificates. With that you can get a "real" ID card from the DMV.

Congratulations!!

You have NOW experienced the phenomenon known as the "Holier-Than-Thou" Internet brotherhood.........

......led by a guy who once came on here to brag about a friend of his who regularly "liberated" carts from the nearby UPS parking lot.

A staunch group dedicated to "Truth, Justice and The American Way!".......

.....except, of course, when applied to them.

I have no real answer other than to approach a seal manufacturer about duplication.

If that presents some sort of problem for ethical or legal reasons, then you certainly belong here among brethren......

Around here, notaries are no longer issued a seal. They use an ordinary rubber stamp.

If you don't want to answer the question, why bother to post?

My bet is a Corporate seal, ya print up a few hundred thousand shares of stock, forge a few sigs, seal it and take to a shady stock transfer agent...

For the O.P., if you have someone who can make a seal from black and while line drawing I'm pretty sure that with a camera on a tripod and some clever lighting and photoshop work to combine various shots you could get a good enough line drawing for reproduction...
