Please advise me that which one is correct?

She wants in the letterhead.
She wants on the letterhead.

You can check on the website, in the website or at the website?

The first two do not make sense.

'...on the website.'
 
Informally, one could ask to be on the letterhead of a company.
 
I'm sure one could but that doesn't make "She wants on the letterhead" correct. It would have to be "She wants to be named on the letterhead/She wants her name to be on the letterhead".
 
It is not incorrect in AmE.
 
Isn't "want" supposed to be a transitive verb?
 
Usually, but not always. In the current case "to be" is understood.
