About this seal

The jitsuin is a person's registered seal (印鑑登録), filed with the local municipal office and certified by a seal registration certificate (印鑑証明書). It carries the strongest legal weight of any personal hanko and is required for major acts such as buying property, registering a car or signing notarized contracts. It usually shows the full name in tensho (seal script) or Mincho within a round frame, often deliberately intricate to deter forgery.

Common uses

  • Property purchases and real-estate contracts
  • Vehicle registration and large loans
  • Notarized agreements and inheritance documents
  • Any act requiring a seal registration certificate (印鑑証明書)

How to create it

  1. Open the template — the round jitsuin layout is pre-applied.
  2. Enter the full name to be registered.
  3. Choose tensho (seal script) or Mincho for an authentic carved look.
  4. Keep the round frame and a balanced, intricate arrangement.
  5. Export a transparent PNG or SVG.

Frequently asked questions

What makes a jitsuin different from a mitomein?

The jitsuin is registered with your city office and carries full legal weight; the mitomein is an unregistered everyday seal. Major contracts require the jitsuin plus a seal registration certificate.

What font should a jitsuin use?

Tensho (seal script) is traditional and harder to forge; Mincho is more legible. The editor offers both, plus brush styles.

Legal & usage

Seals render in your browser for design and demonstration only. A real jitsuin must be carved and registered with your municipal office — generated images cannot be registered and should only depict a name you are entitled to use.
