FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Hawaii digital architect stamps and seals.
Once you are licensed in Hawaii, 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 HAR § 16-115-8 (Seal or stamp); § 16-115-9 (Authentication), which is the provision the Board of Professional Engineers, Architects, Surveyors & Landscape Architects will measure the seal against.
Hawaii’s architect stamp rule is HAR § 16-115-8 (Seal or stamp); § 16-115-9 (Authentication), administered by the Board of Professional Engineers, Architects, Surveyors & Landscape Architects. The seal must carry “Licensed Professional Architect”, and two circles — a smaller one 1-1/8 inches in diameter within a larger one 1-1/2 inches in diameter.
A further 4 requirements, each tied to the subsection that imposes it, are itemised in the Hawaii requirements section on this page.
Two circles — a smaller one 1-1/8 inches in diameter within a larger one 1-1/2 inches in diameter. This is set by HAR § 16-115-8(a)(1).
No. HAR § 16-115-8(a)(1) prescribes one seal design for four professions and lists the wording each may use; the architect's is "Licensed Professional Architect". Hawaii styles architects "professional" in the same breath as engineers, so neither "Architect", "Registered Architect" nor "Licensed Architect" is the prescribed legend. Those words go in the center space together with the license number, and the outer or annular space carries the licensee's name and "Hawaii, U.S.A." — the layout is the inverse of the usual arrangement, with the profession inside and the name around the rim. (HAR § 16-115-8(a)(1))
On permit applications involving public safety or health, yes. HAR § 16-115-9(b) provides that "[i]n addition to the requirements of subsection (a)", plans and specifications submitted with those applications shall bear the seal of the architect charged with observation of construction under HRS §§ 464-4 and 464-5, with the authentication below the seal stating "Construction of this project will be under my observation", signed, and stating the license expiration date. Where the same architect is responsible for both design and observation, § 16-115-9(c) substitutes a single combined sentence covering both. (HAR § 16-115-9(b), (c))
The seal carries a continuing duty. Under HAR § 16-115-9(d), where the architect whose seal and signature appear with the observation-of-construction statement has been removed, replaced, or is otherwise unable to discharge the licensee's duties, that architect must notify the appropriate public official in writing within fifteen days, and the notification must include the name, if known, of the architect charged with continuing the construction observation. (HAR § 16-115-9(d))
