Canadian Company Stamp Generator
Design a Canadian company stamp — the legal name with INC., LTD. or CORP., the street address with a province and postal code such as A1A 1A1, the 9-digit Business Number (BN) and the GST/HST account ending RT0001 — for invoices, forms and bank paperwork.

About this seal
No Canadian corporation statute requires a company to have a stamp or a corporate seal — under the Canada Business Corporations Act and the provincial acts a corporation may adopt a seal but does not need one, and contracts are binding through the signature of an authorized person. Stamps are still ordered because they are fast and tidy: they put the legal name, address and CRA Business Number on an invoice, delivery slip or form in one stroke. The BN is a nine-digit number issued by the Canada Revenue Agency; program accounts add a two-letter code and four digits, so a GST/HST account reads 000000000 RT0001.
Common uses
- Invoices, quotes and delivery slips that need the BN and GST/HST number
- Bank forms and corporate account paperwork
- Customs, export and supplier onboarding documents
- Letters and forms that ask for a company stamp
How to create it
- Open the template — the rectangular stamp layout is pre-applied.
- Replace SAMPLE INC. with your registered legal name.
- Edit the street address, city, province and postal code.
- Enter your Business Number and GST/HST account, then add a phone number if you want one.
- Export a transparent PNG, SVG or PDF.
Frequently asked questions
Does a Canadian corporation need a company stamp or seal?
No. Federal and provincial corporate statutes allow a seal but do not require one. A stamp is optional and mostly used for convenience or when a bank or foreign counterparty asks for it.
What is a Business Number and how is it written?
The Business Number (BN) is a 9-digit identifier issued by the Canada Revenue Agency. A program account adds a 2-letter code and a 4-digit reference, for example RT0001 for GST/HST.
Should a Canadian company stamp be bilingual?
Outside Quebec, English-only is common. If you deal with federal bodies or French-speaking customers, add French lines with the bilingual company stamp preset. In Quebec, use the Quebec company stamp.
Legal & usage
Stamps render in your browser for design and demonstration; nothing you type is uploaded. A stamp is not required and adds no legal authority in Canada — the signature binds. Only show the BN and tax numbers of a business you are authorized to act for.
