Article 133 - Seal
The word Seal originates from the 1st millennium BCE Gaelic word séal meaning a “formal binding promise” usually associated with the use of property called "úsáid" and surety called “tithe”. Hence, in the formation of the 1st sophisticated property laws of civilization, possession of property in Gaelic became known as “séalaigh” (bonded property) and a promise/surety of property was called from the beginning a “áirithe” (property promise).
Once impressed, printed or affixed, the power and authority bestowed by a valid Seal elevates or “raises” the status of the Document according to the office of the Seal and its associated registration. Therefore, the use of ornaments, wax, wafer, colour or other devices to physically raise, attach or alter the physical material of the Document is immaterial to the legitimate effect of a Seal.
There are only six (6) valid types of Seal: Absolute, Great, Official, Ordinary, Inferior and Private:
(i) An Absolute Seal is the most powerful and highest authority of seal and signature when a man or woman uses their thumbprint in red ink to give life and personality to a Document in their capacity as Executor of their own True Trust and General Executor of the Estate of their Legal Person; and
(ii) A Great Seal is the second highest possible seal and is the official Seal of any Juridic Society Person or Juridic Public Person. Hence a Great Seal is used for the authentication of Documents of the highest importance issued in the name of a Universal True Trust, Global True Trust or Civil True Trust; and
(iii) An Official Seal is the third highest possible Seal issued by an Official Person in the capacity of their office on behalf of a Universal True Trust, Global True Trust or Civil True Trust; and
(iv) An Ordinary Seal is the fourth highest possible Seal issued on behalf of a Juridic Private Person, Juridic Union Person or Juridic Domestic Person in association with a Superior Trust; and
(v) An Inferior Seal is is the fifth highest possible Seal issued on behalf of a non-Ucadian legal person; and
(vi) A Private Seal, also known as an Inferior Administrative Seal is the lowest form of seal and is an administrative stamp issued under private law between parties for the cross certification of documents by regulation and central registration of all authorized signatories.
An Apostille is an example of a Private Seal whereby private Roman nations who are signatories to a private Hague Convention from 1961 have agreed to recognize and certify each of the documents of each other for legal purposes by ensuring the registration of officials who are authorized to seal documents under private international law.
