Question: Who is the official custodian of the Great Seal of the United States?
Answer: The Secretary of State serves as the official custodian of the Great Seal of the United States. The seal, a symbol of the nation’s identity, is used on treaties, commissions, passports, and even appears on the back of the $1 bill. Only one authorized Great Seal is in official use, and the State Department affixes it to roughly 3,000 official documents each year.
