The Idaho rules in full, with citations

Idaho publishes no seal artwork for any of the three professions. Idaho Code § 54-1215(3)(e) hands the engineer and surveyor design to the board, and the board's only published statement about the wording is a June 2008 news bulletin announcing that the specification would move from "Registered" to "Licensed" on July 1, 2008; asked about the seal, the board's FAQ points licensees back to the letter the board sent when their license was issued. The 7-1-25 recodification of IDAPA 24.32.01 moved the seal rule from Section 012 to Section 200.01 and dropped the subsection headed "Standard Seals for Engineers and Land Surveyors" — and the board's FAQ still cites IDAPA 24.32.01.101.03, "Use of Seal on Documents," which the recodified chapter no longer contains. The contact block on the cover of that chapter prints the board's website as https://dopl.idaho.gov/pht/, which is the Physical Therapy Board; the working address is https://dopl.idaho.gov/ipels/, and the older ipels.idaho.gov host no longer resolves at all. Two articles in the board's own Ethics and Professional Practice Guidance Document, both carrying the same 07/10/2025 revision date, disagree about facsimile signatures: "Digital Signatures" lists "a facsimile image of the licensee's signature adjacent to or over an electronically generated stamp" as an allowable form since Senate Bill 1235, while "Stamping Practices" still says "you cannot use computer generated signatures and dates" and requires the licensee to personally sign and date each original. The statute itself no longer defines "signature" at all. For architects, Idaho Code § 54-304(2) provides that the design and use of the seal "shall be as required by board rule," but IDAPA 24.01.01 contains no seal rule, and the rulemaking pending before that board in 2026 adds one for certified interior designers only.

Architect seal

Board:
Board of Architects and Landscape Architects
Diameter:
No diameter is prescribed. Idaho Code § 54-304 states no dimension, and IDAPA 24.01.01, the rule chapter to which the statute delegates the design, contains no seal rule at all.
Legend:
“licensed architect, state of Idaho”
  • Every licensed architect shall have a seal, the impression of which must contain the name and Idaho architect license number of the architect and the words "licensed architect" and "state of Idaho", with which the architect shall seal all technical submissions issued from the office. (Idaho Code § 54-304(1))
  • The design and use of the seal shall be as required by board rule, but IDAPA 24.01.01 prescribes no seal, so beyond the four elements named in the statute no layout, lettering or dimension is imposed. (Idaho Code § 54-304(2); IDAPA 24.01.01)
  • The seal, signature and date may be manually or electronically applied. (Idaho Code § 54-304(2))
  • Whenever the seal is applied to a technical submission, the signature of the architect and the date shall be written adjacent to or across the seal, and the signature, date and seal shall appear on all technical submissions the architect prepared or is entitled to seal under subsection (4). (Idaho Code § 54-304(2) and (4))
  • Only the title page of reports, specifications and like documents must bear the date, seal and signature of the architect. (Idaho Code § 54-304(2))
  • Electronically produced documents distributed for informational uses may be issued with only the architect's seal if the copy carries notice that the original is on file with the date and the architect's signature, the words "original signed by" and "date original signed" are placed adjacent to or across the seal, and the storage location of the original is identified. (Idaho Code § 54-304(2)(a), (b) and (c))
  • The architect sealing the document is responsible for providing adequate security when documents with electronic seals are distributed. (Idaho Code § 54-304(2))
  • A technical submission presented to a public or governmental agency to obtain a building permit that is not clearly identified by the affixed seal, the architect's signature and the date shall be deemed an unacceptable submission for that purpose. (Idaho Code § 54-304(3))

FAQ

Idaho Architect Seal FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Idaho digital architect stamps and seals.

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

Once you are licensed in Idaho, 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 Idaho Code § 54-304 (Architect's seal), which is the provision the Board of Architects and Landscape Architects will measure the seal against.

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

Idaho’s architect stamp rule is Idaho Code § 54-304 (Architect's seal), administered by the Board of Architects and Landscape Architects, a different body from the engineering board. The seal must carry “licensed architect, state of Idaho”, and no diameter is prescribed. Idaho Code § 54-304 states no dimension, and IDAPA 24.01.01, the rule chapter to which the statute delegates the design, contains no seal rule at all.

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

What size does an Idaho architect stamp have to be?

Idaho Code § 54-304 (Architect's seal) governs the Idaho architect’s seal but does not prescribe a diameter. Sizes quoted for Idaho 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.

Which Idaho board sets the architect's seal, and does it fix the wording?

The Board of Architects and Landscape Architects, not the Board of Licensure of Professional Engineers and Professional Land Surveyors — and Idaho reverses the usual pattern here. The engineer and land surveyor seal design is delegated to their board by Idaho Code § 54-1215(3)(e) and no specification has ever been published, while the architect's wording is fixed in the statute itself by Idaho Code § 54-304(1). The architect is the only one of the three professions whose seal contents an Idaho licensee can read for themselves in the code. (Idaho Code § 54-304(1); § 54-1215(3)(e))

What size should an Idaho architect's seal be?

Idaho never says. Idaho Code § 54-304 states no dimension, and § 54-304(2) closes with "The design and use of the seal shall be as required by board rule" — but the Board of Architects and Landscape Architects has adopted no seal rule to receive that delegation. IDAPA 24.01.01 runs to Sections 000, 001, 100, 200 and 400 — legal authority, scope, licensure, practice standards and fees — and the word "seal" appears nowhere in the chapter. The four elements the statute names are therefore the whole specification: no diameter, no layout, no lettering. (Idaho Code § 54-304(2); IDAPA 24.01.01)

Does an Idaho architect's seal say "Registered Architect"?

No. Idaho Code § 54-304(1) requires the impression to contain the name and Idaho architect license number of the architect and the words "licensed architect" and "state of Idaho". The two phrases are quoted separately and joined by "and", so both are required and a seal carrying only "licensed architect" is short of the statute. The enacted text prints both phrases in lower case, and the number named is the Idaho architect license number, not a number issued anywhere else. (Idaho Code § 54-304(1))

What records must an Idaho architect keep after sealing another's work?

Five years' worth, available to the board on request. Idaho Code § 54-304(4) allows an architect to seal submissions prepared by another architect licensed in Idaho whose work has been reviewed and either coordinated or integrated, and prototypical building documents prepared by an architect licensed in any state who holds the NCARB certificate, where the work has been reviewed and integrated. Section 54-304(6) then requires adequate and complete records showing the nature and extent of the architect's control over work prepared by persons not regularly employed in the resident office, or of the review and integration of another architect's work and that it met the required standard of care, to be maintained for at least five years following the signing and sealing. (Idaho Code § 54-304(4), (6))
