seal of approval
認め印 (mitomein)


Explanation:
There are two types of 印鑑 - 実印(jitsuin), and 認め印(mitomein). You don't register 認め印 with the local goverment office, but we use it regularly from business occasions to daily situations.
It really depends on the context.

seal of approval
検印/承認証


Explanation:
If Seal of Approval is on commercial goods, it means 検印 as you may find it on clothes, household appliances and so on. When it is on legal documents, it will be 承認証, as it is similar to a certificate of approval.
