In addition to the divisions or bureaus required by law to have an official seal, any division or bureau of any department shall have such a seal, if so required by rules of the department. The official seal shall be used in the cases prescribed by law. Such rules also may prescribe other cases in which it shall or may be used. For the purposes of any provisions of the law requiring the use of the official seal of the officer or body who or which is the head of a department, division or bureau, the seal of such department, division or bureau shall be deemed the official seal of such officer or body.

The official seal, if any, of a division or bureau of a department shall have thereon the matter required for the official seal of the department and in addition thereto words or initials, or both, describing the division or bureau. The seal of such court, the privy seal of the governor, and the official seal of such a department shall be two and one-quarter inches in diameter.
