FAQ
Frequently asked questions about California digital land surveyor stamps and seals.
Once you are licensed in California, you can generate your seal here and download it immediately. Fill in the form and position your signature if you want one. The layout follows 16 CCR § 411(b), which is the provision the Board for Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors, and Geologists will measure the seal against.
California’s land surveyor seal rule is 16 CCR § 411(b), administered by the Board for Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors, and Geologists. The seal must carry any one of “Professional Land Surveyor”, “Licensed Land Surveyor”, and not less than 1½ inches in diameter. The rule sets no maximum.
A further 2 requirements, each tied to the subsection that imposes it, are itemised in the California requirements section on this page.
Not less than 1½ inches in diameter. The rule sets no maximum. This is set by 16 CCR § 411(b).
The land surveyor's seal uses a different legend and carries no branch line. It is not the engineer's seal with the wording swapped. (16 CCR § 411(b))
Not necessarily. B&P Code § 8750 and 16 CCR § 411(b)(1) give two legends and treat them as equals: "Professional Land Surveyor" or "Licensed Land Surveyor." Either satisfies the rule, so a seal cut with one wording does not have to be recut to the other, and neither is the single correct form. (B&P Code § 8750; 16 CCR § 411(b)(1))
Yes. B&P Code § 8761(b) puts the licensee's name and license number on all maps, plats, reports, descriptions and other land surveying documents, final or not. The signature, seal or stamp and the date of signing attach only to the final ones under § 8761(d). A preliminary map therefore carries no seal but is still short of the Act if it omits the name and license number. (B&P Code § 8761(b), (d))
No. 16 CCR § 411(b) says the seal shall be not less than one and one-half inches in diameter and stops there — a floor with no ceiling. The 1½-to-2-inch range quoted for California matches no rule that governs surveyors; the only California seal rule with an upper bound is the architect's stamp, at one to two inches under 16 CCR § 136(a). (16 CCR § 411(b); 16 CCR § 136(a))
With a notation of what it is for. B&P Code § 8761(c) requires interim maps, plats, reports, descriptions and other land surveying documents to include a notation as to their intended purpose, and gives "preliminary" and "for examination only" as the examples. Simply leaving the seal off an unfinished document does not answer the subdivision; the notation is the thing it asks for. (B&P Code § 8761(c))
