to seal
You seal an official document.
A stamp, or to stamp can also be used for documents but doesnt have the official meaning in my opinion. It can be just a commercial stamp, a stamp from the post office, etc..

with seal affixed
Neither one. Sealed would be "closed with glue or some other fixative" and "stamped" would only apply to either (1) a stamp stuck onto the document or (2) a rubber stamped image/word.
Here is an explanation from Termium:

Sseal s CORRECT,NOUN
CONT - In matters of succession, the placing, by the proper officer, of seals on the effects of a succession for the purpose of preserving them and for the interest of third person. The **seals are affixed** by order of the judge having jurisdiction. s

sealed
"poner sello". The other is "timbrado" (in the post office, documentary stamps or what's called "papel timbrado de pagos al Estado").
