Japanese validate day-today documents and official forms with “Hanko/Inkan” (personal seals made from wood/plastic/other material); rather than signatures. Many native Japanese use the Hanko/Inkan interchangeably as equivalent terms; but for conversational and casual expression, it is “hanko” and “inkan” is a slightly formal expression.
Note: When a foreigner makes a seal, it’s generally necessary to order a custom one.
Here are 3 types of Hanko/Inkan:
a) “Mitome-in” which means a hanko for casual/informal acceptance or acknowledgement. This can be used when receiving packages of home delivery.
b) “Ginko-in” which is a hanko for bank accounts.
This is an official seal used to verify your identity at a bank - used to open an account.
c) “Jitsu-in” which literally stand for real-registered hanko.
This is the most official seal you can use in Japan. You must register a hanko/seal at the city hall or the local government office that has jurisdiction over the area you live.
