I don't think it's illegal to make a stamp that looks like an official stamp as long as you don't use it within that country. Also, I've never heard about any law prohibiting to copy a stamp, although there are laws to prohibit printing counterfeit currency. It's certainly illegal to assume authority where none has been granted. Speaking of which, if my signature happens to look exactly like the Prime Minister's signature, I can only be sued when I use that fact to posture as the PM; I can still use that signature for all my legal dealings.

<p>Hi I own a printing company and a client submitted the following documents so that I recreate for him following stamps</p>

<p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/iE0sD.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://i.sstatic.net/iE0sD.jpg</a></p>

<p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/rxbCJ.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://i.sstatic.net/rxbCJ.jpg</a></p>

<p>I have no idea what these stamps are and what is written there, my questions</p>

<p>1) Is it legally ok for the stamps to be recreated?</p>

<p>2) If yes, could someone be so nice and type for me the letters which are within the red circles.</p>

<p>Thank you</p>

Sure you can recreate a stamp; all you need is an image from which a stamp can be etched. You say making such a stamp is illegal; can you detail what law in what jurisdiction prohibits that?
