The breadth of services and current affairs in the administrative organization of the Holy Shrine, which had been formed since the Safavid period, led to the emergence of many jobs in various administrative fields, including jobs such as sealer, engraver or seal maker, and seal seller. The sealer was one of the important civil positions in this organization that was popular until the end of the Qajar period. With the importance of seals, engraving and carving on seals, as well as seal sales, which are among the professions of art and craft, flourished alongside them. However, with the popularity of signatures in the Pahlavi period, the positions of sealer and seal engraver also declined. Therefore, it is important to examine the role of sealer and seal engraver as old and obsolete professions.
The aim of this research is to examine the role and position of jobs related to seals in the administrative system of Astan Quds Razavi in ​​a descriptive-analytical manner with a documentary approach.
By researching these documents, it can be said that although the sealer of the shrine did not have the status and position of the sealer in the court's administrative organization and his duties were more limited, he was considered one of the highest civil service positions and one of the most influential men in the country, so much so that the effect of his seal can be seen on most of the documents of the shrine. Engravers were also artists who, in addition to engraving seals, also engraved vessels, stones, coins, etc.
