The Connecticut rules in full, with citations

The 1¼-to-2-inch range often quoted for Connecticut appears in no Connecticut authority. The Board prescribes a single diameter, 1½ inches. CGS § 20-304 is only the enabling authority for seal regulations, and CGS § 20-302 is "Requirements for licensure" — neither describes the seal.

Architect seal

Board:
Architectural Licensing Board
Diameter:
Neither the statute nor the regulation states a diameter. RCSA § 20-289-7a(a) leaves the design, arrangement, size and wording to the board.
Legend:
“Licensed Architect, State of Connecticut”
  • The seal contains the name of the architect and the words "Licensed Architect, State of Connecticut", plus such other words or figures as the board deems necessary. Connecticut does not use "Registered Architect". (CGS § 20-293)
  • An embossing seal, rubber stamp or electronic seal conforming to the board's prescribed seal may be used. Any other seal or rubber stamp, or any variation of one, is disapproved and shall not be used. (RCSA § 20-289-7a(c))
  • An electronic seal must be unique to the architect, verifiable, under the architect's direct and exclusive control, and linked to the document so that any change is visually displayed and the seal is invalidated. (RCSA § 20-289-7a(d)(1)-(5))
  • Whenever the electronic document is transmitted electronically it must be converted to a read-only format. (RCSA § 20-289-7a(d)(6))

FAQ

Connecticut Architect Seal FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Connecticut digital architect stamps and seals.

How do I obtain a digital Connecticut architect seal or stamp?

Once you are licensed in Connecticut, 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 CGS § 20-293 (Seal); RCSA § 20-289-7a (Seals), which is the provision the Architectural Licensing Board will measure the seal against.

What are the requirements for the Connecticut architect stamp or seal?

Connecticut’s architect stamp rule is CGS § 20-293 (Seal); RCSA § 20-289-7a (Seals), administered by the Architectural Licensing Board, a different body from the engineering board. The seal must carry “Licensed Architect, State of Connecticut”, and neither the statute nor the regulation states a diameter. RCSA § 20-289-7a(a) leaves the design, arrangement, size and wording to the board.

A further 4 requirements, each tied to the subsection that imposes it, are itemised in the Connecticut requirements section on this page.

What size does a Connecticut architect stamp have to be?

CGS § 20-293 (Seal); RCSA § 20-289-7a (Seals) governs the Connecticut architect’s seal but does not prescribe a diameter. Sizes quoted for Connecticut elsewhere generally come from stamp suppliers’ catalogues rather than from the rule. What the rule does require is that your name and license number stay clearly legible.

Is a Connecticut architect's seal the same 1½ inches as an engineer's?

There is no architect diameter to compare it with. CGS § 20-293 and RCSA § 20-289-7a(a) both leave the design, arrangement, size and wording of the architect's seal to the Architectural Licensing Board, which is a different board from the State Board of Examiners for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors. The 1½-inch figure that circulates for Connecticut comes from the engineering board's own seal specification and governs engineers and land surveyors, not architects. (CGS § 20-293; RCSA § 20-289-7a(a))

Does a Connecticut architect's seal say "Registered Architect"?

No. CGS § 20-293 fixes the wording as the name of the architect and the words "Licensed Architect, State of Connecticut", together with such other words or figures as the board deems necessary. The statute has read "licensed" since P.A. 82-419 converted Connecticut's architectural registration to licensure, so "Registered Architect" is another state's phrase and not an alternative here. (CGS § 20-293)

Can a Connecticut architect use a restyled version of the prescribed seal?

No. RCSA § 20-289-7a(c) permits an electronic seal, an embossing seal or a rubber stamp conforming to the seal prescribed by the board, and then closes the door on everything else: “Any other seal or rubber stamp, or any variation thereof, is disapproved and shall not be used.” A redrawn, restyled or partly rearranged version of the prescribed seal is a variation, and the sentence reaches it — an electronic seal has to match the board's artwork rather than approximate it. (RCSA § 20-289-7a(c))

Who seals an architectural firm's drawings in Connecticut?

A principal member or officer of the firm. CGS § 20-293 says it in terms: "Working drawings and specifications prepared by an architectural firm shall be sealed by a principal member or officer of the firm." The licensed architect who actually ran the project does not satisfy that sentence unless they are also a principal or an officer, which is a firm-structure question rather than a licensing one. (CGS § 20-293)
