The District of Columbia rules in full, with citations

The "typically 1¾ inches" figure repeated for the District has no source in DC law; § 1516.4 states no dimension. DCRA, whose URLs still circulate for this board, ceased to exist on October 1, 2022 when it was split into the Department of Licensing and Consumer Protection and the Department of Buildings. Chapter 17-23 is not the engineering chapter. Section 3214 was published at 55 DCR 5441 (May 9, 2008) and amended at 59 DCR 9963, 9965 (August 17, 2012), the amendment adding the electronic-signature provisions in § 3214.6. On the official DCRegs section page the codified text is served as a downloadable document rather than displayed inline. The rule speaks of surrendering the seal to "the secretary of the Board"; the licensing body is now within the Department of Licensing and Consumer Protection.

Each licensed interior designer shall procure a seal, which shall contain the name of the licensed interior designer, his or her license number, and the words LICENSED INTERIOR DESIGNER-DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.

Any interior design construction documents, including drawings, plans, specifications, or reports prepared or issued by the licensed interior designer and being filed for public record with any jurisdiction or local building department for the purposes of obtaining a building permit, shall bear the signature and seal of the licensed interior designer who prepared or approved the document and the date on which they were sealed.

The licensed interior designer, when affixing his or her seal to plans, drawings, specifications, or other instruments of services, shall affix his or her name, by manual signature or electronic signature, across the printed image of the seal. (17 DCMR § 3214.6)
An electronic signature must be unique to the person using it; capable of verification; under the sole control of the person using it; and linked to a document in such a manner that the electronic signature is invalidated if any data in the document is changed. (17 DCMR § 3214.6(a)-(d))
All plans, drawings, specifications, or other instruments of services shall be identified as interior design documents. (17 DCMR § 3214.7)

Frequently asked questions about District Of Columbia digital interior designer stamps and seals.

How do I obtain a digital District of Columbia interior designer seal or stamp?

The layout follows 17 DCMR § 3214, which is the provision the District of Columbia Board of Architecture, Interior Design, and Landscape Architecture will measure the seal against.

What are the requirements for the District of Columbia interior designer stamp or seal?

District of Columbia’s interior designer stamp rule is 17 DCMR § 3214, administered by the District of Columbia Board of Architecture, Interior Design, and Landscape Architecture, a different body from the engineering board. The seal must carry “LICENSED INTERIOR DESIGNER-DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA”, and no diameter is given in figures. Section 3214.1 requires the seal to comply "in all respects, including size and format" with a specimen image reproduced in the rule, but the codified text of § 3214 states no dimension.

A further 8 requirements, each tied to the subsection that imposes it, are itemised in the District of Columbia requirements section on this page.

What size does a District of Columbia interior designer stamp have to be?

17 DCMR § 3214 governs the District of Columbia interior designer’s seal but does not prescribe a diameter. Sizes quoted for District of Columbia 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.

Does the District prescribe a diameter for the interior designer's seal?

Not in words. Section 3214.1 requires compliance "in all respects, including size and format" with a specimen reproduced in the rule, but the codified text carries no figure — the dimension exists only in the printed illustration, so any diameter quoted as a District requirement is being read off an image, not off the rule. (17 DCMR § 3214.1)

Is a sealed and signed drawing complete in the District?

Not quite. Beyond the seal, signature and date, § 3214.7 requires all plans, drawings, specifications or other instruments of service to be identified as interior design documents. (17 DCMR § 3214.7)
