An apparatus for making a seal comprises a seal face member composed of a photosensitive resin layer, a recording means for recording an image onto the photosensitive resin layer, and a light irradiating means for irradiating light rays onto the photosensitive resin layer. The photosensitive resin layer comprises an ultraviolet setting resin layer, and said recording means comprises: imprint figure information generating means for generating imprint figure information, an ink ribbon composed of a sheet member capable of transmitting an ultraviolet ligh, a movable print head for transferring a pattern of the imprint figure information onto a surface of the ultraviolet setting resin layer through the ink ribbon, and control means for controlling the print head so as to transfer the pattern onto the surface of the ultraviolet setting resin layer on the basis of the imprint figure information generated from the imprint figure information generating means.
