Illinois PE Stamp Requirements

Board approved

The Illinois rules in full, with citations

Illinois licenses structural engineers under a separate Act with its own seal rule (68 Ill. Adm. Code 1480.145); a structural engineer's seal is not the PE seal below. Note also that the license expiration date has to sit next to the seal — a detail that catches out-of-state filers.

  • The seal carries your name, your license number, and the words "Licensed Professional Engineer of Illinois" — the state is part of the legend itself, not a separate band. (68 Ill. Adm. Code § 1380.295(a))
  • Your written signature, the date of signing and your license expiration date must all appear adjacent to the seal. (68 Ill. Adm. Code § 1380.295)
  • A reproducible seal or facsimile is permitted and may be computer generated. (68 Ill. Adm. Code § 1380.295)
  • The signature may be an original in your handwriting, a scanned copy of a document bearing an original signature, or computer generated. (68 Ill. Adm. Code § 1380.295)
  • A document bearing the name of a professional design firm instead of the individual licensed engineer responsible for it is deemed an invalid seal. (68 Ill. Adm. Code § 1380.295)

FAQ

Illinois Engineer Seal FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Illinois digital engineer stamps and seals.

How do I obtain a digital Illinois professional engineer (PE) seal or stamp?

Once you are licensed in Illinois, 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 68 Ill. Adm. Code § 1380.295 (Seal and Signature Requirements), which is the provision the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation will measure the seal against.

What are the requirements for the Illinois PE stamp or seal?

Illinois’ PE seal rule is 68 Ill. Adm. Code § 1380.295 (Seal and Signature Requirements), administered by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. The seal must carry “Licensed Professional Engineer of Illinois”, and the rule does not prescribe a diameter. Illustration A in the Part shows a suggested facsimile but gives no dimensions.

A further 5 requirements, each tied to the subsection that imposes it, are itemised in the Illinois requirements section on this page.

What size does an Illinois PE seal have to be?

68 Ill. Adm. Code § 1380.295 (Seal and Signature Requirements) governs the Illinois professional engineer (PE)’s seal but does not prescribe a diameter. Sizes quoted for Illinois 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 an Illinois PE seal need the license expiration date next to it?

The license expiration date must sit next to the seal. A seal accompanied only by a signature and a date is incomplete in Illinois. (68 Ill. Adm. Code § 1380.295)

Can an Illinois document be sealed in the design firm's name instead of the engineer's?

A document bearing the name of a professional design firm instead of the individual engineer responsible for it is deemed an invalid seal. (68 Ill. Adm. Code § 1380.295)

Is an Illinois structural engineer's seal the same as the PE seal?

Structural engineers are licensed under a separate Act with its own seal rule at 68 Ill. Adm. Code § 1480.145. A structural engineer's seal is not the PE seal.
