A company letterhead is what a registered legal entity uses on official correspondence — everything a business letterhead has, plus the registration details most jurisdictions expect to see on formal company documents.

Company letterhead, defined
A company letterhead sample typically includes the registered company name, logo, registered office address, company registration number, and VAT or tax ID — usually placed in the footer so it stays out of the way of the letter itself. It is what distinguishes a company letterhead from a general business letterhead.
Common uses
- Invoices and formal client agreements
- Statutory notices and shareholder correspondence
- Contracts requiring registered company details
- Any external document a registered company sends officially

The registration details, and where they sit
A registered company's letterhead typically carries its full legal name — including the suffix, so "Ltd", "LLC" or "GmbH" rather than the trading name people use day to day — plus a company registration number and often a registered office address and tax ID. Many jurisdictions expect these on business letters and invoices. The specifics vary, so confirm what applies to your entity before printing a run.
The convention is to keep them in the footer. The header is doing brand work and a reader scanning for your phone number should not have to read past a VAT number to find it. Footer placement also means the details survive when the letter runs to a second page, if your footer repeats.
Legal name versus trading name
Plenty of companies trade under a name that is not their registered one. The usual approach is the trading name in the header where it does the recognition work, and the registered name in the footer alongside the registration number, often introduced with "registered as" or similar.
Putting only the trading name on a letter that legally needs the registered one is the error worth avoiding here, and it is easy to make when a designer builds the letterhead and nobody checks the footer.

Company letterhead questions
What is a company letterhead?
A company letterhead is a letterhead used by a legally registered company that includes its registration number and often its VAT/tax ID, in addition to the usual name, logo and contact details.
What is company letterhead sample content?
A typical company letterhead sample shows: company name and logo in the header, address and contact line, a divider, the letter body, and a footer line with "Reg. No." and VAT/tax ID.
Do I legally need a company registration number on my letterhead?
Many jurisdictions require registered companies to show their registration number (and sometimes registered office address) on business letters and invoices — check your local company law, but Letterheads makes it a one-tap toggle either way.
How do I create a letterhead for my company?
Pick the Company Formal template, fill in your details under the Details tab, enable "Show tax ID & registration number" in Extras → Footer, and export as PDF, PNG or a Word-ready header image.
