Is it mandatory for the LOR to be on my current office letterhead?

No, it is not mandatory for your Letter of Recommendation (LOR) to be on your current office letterhead. However, using official letterhead can strengthen the credibility of your LOR.
If a letterhead is not possible, make sure the LOR includes your recommender’s official designation, contact details, and signature. Some universities may also accept LORs sent directly from the recommender’s official email address.
Requirements can vary by university, so check the specific guidelines for each application.
