Pre-Assessed..
Finally obtained the employment record letter from an old employer with very strictly compliance rules.

But it turned out by the company's policy, there is no signagure of anyone (HR or my supervisor) allowed on that letter, only company seal stamped with company letter head. I will try to explain the situation in explanation letter, but I still feel not so confident about it.

Has anyone had similar problems?

Do you have in writing from the employer that they are not able to sign it? I'd attach that evidence with the letter and an explanation from yourself.
 
Further to what ozilis has said, see if you can get a colleague to write a similar letter to what you have received from the company and get him/her to sign it. The use the signed letter from your colleague to re-enforce the letter issued by your company.

Their general rule is, not to provide any type of "unofficial" or "non-standard" document that might potentially cause "problems", so I think getting that letter saying that they cannot sign it is even harder... Right now besides the letter w/o signature, I have my income tax receipt and a hand written slip stating that the employment was ended in 2013 ( a standard document in my country). I plan to translate them all and hope for the best....

Emm, I should try this ;)
 
It doesn't need to be a formal letter - even an email will cover your needs. Just something to confirm why the letter isn't signed.

If you can't get that, include your explanation with the rest of your backup and it should be good to go.

That and if possible, get a business card from that person and attach it to the letter.
