What is a Hanko?
In Japan, a personal seal called a hanko or inkan is used instead of a
handwritten signature. There are three main types:
- Jitsuin (registered seal)
- An officially registered seal used for legal documents such as real-estate and car purchases. Usually engraved with the full name.
- Ginkoin (bank seal)
- The seal registered at your bank for opening accounts and withdrawals. Usually engraved with the family name.
- Mitomein (everyday seal)
- A casual seal for receiving parcels and everyday paperwork.
