Stamps, also called chops or seals, are used to imprint a distinctive symbol on documents that uniquely identifies the sealholder. A chop cannot be easily forged, and thus, is traditionally used on contracts, treaties, and other sensitive documents. Stamps can be associated with an individual or an organization such as a guild, city, commune, order, cult, clan, or family. Stamps associated with an organization can be used by the organization's leaders. Family seals are traditionally passed on from parent to child when they become the family head. | Stamps, also called chops or seals, are used to imprint a distinctive symbol on documents that uniquely identifies the sealholder.

Finally, submitting a stamp design requires a Chop Certificate, which can be purchased at the Hall of Records. There are separate Chop Certificates for personal and organizational stamps. Chop Certificates are quite expensive, because a single person or organization should not have many stamps (usually only one). The bookbinder will get part of the cost of the certificate back when the design is submitted. | Finally, submitting a stamp design requires a Chop Certificate, which can be purchased at the Hall of Records.
