Pictured above is the Official Stamp.
1) What Actually Gets Stamped?
All drawings (each sheet), specifications (just the cover), and other technical submissions prepared by you or under your supervision and reviewed by you.
2) What about stamping a residential planting plan which does not need a permit?
Stamp it. Part of being licensed is stamping all your professional work.
3) Before stamping something, do I have to review it even if another landscape architect prepared it?
Yes, stamping the work makes you the responsible professional.
4) I prepared a plan which my boss will review and stamp – should we both stamp it?
That would be okay but not required.
5) When I sign my stamp do I include today’s date?
No. You include your license expiration date. That is a great way to track when you need to renew your license. Even if you are still using the older form of stamp – it must be signed and include the expiration date.
6) Wait! What if my license expired?
Then technically you are not licensed and cannot enter into contracts as a landscape architect and may not stamp any work until your license is renewed or reinstated.
7) Are digital stamps with a scanned signature and date allowed?
Yes, although some building officials may require a “wet” signature and you must have direct control over the use of that scanned image.
