N.C. R. Prac. Sup. & Dist. Ct. Civ. P. 29
In all cases in which the seal of any court or judicial office is required by law to be affixed to any paper issuing from a court or office, the word "seal" shall be construed to include an impression of the official seal, made upon the paper alone, an impression made by means of a wafer or of wax affixed thereto, or an electronic image adopted as the official seal affixed thereto. The Administrative Office of the Courts may prescribe the format and appearance of an electronic image adopted for use as an official seal.

Adopted February 9, 2023, effective 2/13/2023; amended June 18, 2024, effective 6/18/2024.
The "Certificate of Readiness" form is referenced in the original version of Rule 2, 276 N.C. 735.
A subsequent amendment to Rule 2, 300 N.C. 751, eliminated the reference to the form, but the Court has never eliminated the form itself. Accordingly, the form appears in this codification.
