Your Indiana Architect seal from pedigitalstamps.com meets every requirement on this page — the required wording, the layout and the diameter set out in 804 IAC 1.1-2-7 (Architect's seal); IC 25-4-1-13. Fill in your details and download it in seconds.
Indiana splits the three professions across three boards, all administered by the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency: engineers under 864 IAC 1.1, architects and landscape architects under 804 IAC 1.1, and surveyors under 865 IAC 1. Each of the three seal rules prescribes its design by incorporating a picture rather than by listing words, so the wording has to be read off the figure: all three figures carry "REGISTERED", "No." above a rule line, "STATE OF" and "INDIANA" inside the inner circle in addition to the profession wording in the outer band. The legend recorded here for each profession is the profession wording its own source fixes — "professional engineer" by statute for engineers, "registered architect" by statute for architects, and "LAND SURVEYOR" from the figure for surveyors, whose statute prescribes no wording at all. Only the surveyor rule regulates electronic signatures in detail — 865 IAC 1-7-4(c) demands unique identification, verifiability, direct control and a retained permanent digital copy — while the engineer rule accepts an electronic signature with no such conditions and the architect rule still speaks of the person's "original signature" beside the seal. Because 864 IAC 1.1-7-2, 1.1-7-3 and 1.1-7-4 were renumbered by the Legislative Services Agency as 865 IAC 1-7-1, 1-7-2 and 1-7-3 when surveyors were separated from the engineers' title, older material citing "864 IAC 1.1-7" for a surveyor's seal now points at the engineer rule; the code's chapter heading at IC 25-21.5-2 likewise still reads "State Board of Registration for Land Surveyors" even though IC 25-21.5-2-1 establishes the state board of registration for professional surveyors. Rule text here was read in the 2026 Edition of the Indiana Administrative Code and in the 2026 Indiana Code.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Indiana digital architect stamps and seals.
Once you are licensed in Indiana, 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 804 IAC 1.1-2-7 (Architect's seal); IC 25-4-1-13, which is the provision the Board of Registration for Architects and Landscape Architects will measure the seal against.
Indiana’s architect stamp rule is 804 IAC 1.1-2-7 (Architect's seal); IC 25-4-1-13, administered by the Board of Registration for Architects and Landscape Architects, a different body from the engineering board. The seal must carry “REGISTERED ARCHITECT”, and the architect seal shall be not less than 1⅝ inches or more than 1⅞ inches in outside diameter.
A further 8 requirements, each tied to the subsection that imposes it, are itemised in the Indiana requirements section on this page.
The architect seal shall be not less than 1⅝ inches or more than 1⅞ inches in outside diameter. This is set by 804 IAC 1.1-2-7(a).
No — the statute's phrase is split across two rings. IC 25-4-1-13 requires the impression to contain the architect's name and the words "registered architect", "state of Indiana", but the design incorporated at 804 IAC 1.1-2-7(a) puts the architect's name across the top of the outer band and the single word "ARCHITECT" across the bottom, with "REGISTERED", "No." above a rule line, "STATE OF" and "INDIANA" stacked inside the inner circle. A seal that runs "REGISTERED ARCHITECT" together in the outer band does not conform to the incorporated design. (IC 25-4-1-13; 804 IAC 1.1-2-7(a))
No. The "Sample Seal" published on the Board of Registration for Architects and Landscape Architects' own page is the file sample_seal_arch.gif, and its outer band reads "LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT" — it is the landscape architect design of 804 IAC 1.1-2-7(d), not the architect design of 804 IAC 1.1-2-7(a). The two are identical apart from that band, which is exactly why the mix-up survives, and IC 25-4-2-2(c) provides that nothing authorizes the use or acceptance of a landscape architect's seal as a substitute for the seal of an architect. (804 IAC 1.1-2-7(a), (d); IC 25-4-2-2(c); PLA architects and landscape architects board page, "Sample Seal")
The architect's rule asks for a signature and says nothing about a date. 804 IAC 1.1-2-7(h) requires the person's original signature directly adjacent to the seal and not across it, or permits the signature at another location on the sheet provided it is inscribed "This document is certified by _____". Indiana's other two seal rules do require a date — the engineer's at 864 IAC 1.1-7-3(b) and the surveyor's at 865 IAC 1-7-2(b) both call for the date the seal is being affixed — so the requirement people quote for "Indiana" is not the architect's. (804 IAC 1.1-2-7(h); 864 IAC 1.1-7-3(b); 865 IAC 1-7-2(b))
It does not. 804 IAC 1.1-2-7(b) lets the seal itself be embossed, electronically applied, rubber stamped or otherwise permanently affixed, but subsection (h) asks for the person's original signature, and the architects' seal rule sets out no electronic or digital signature provision at all. The conditions often quoted as Indiana's — unique identification, verifiability, the registrant's direct control, and a permanent digital copy retained for future verification — are the surveyors' rule at 865 IAC 1-7-4(c) and are not imposed on architects by their own board's rule. (804 IAC 1.1-2-7(b), (h); 865 IAC 1-7-4(c))
No. 804 IAC 1.1-2-7(a) states a flat floor and ceiling — not less than one and five-eighths inches or more than one and seven-eighths inches in outside diameter — and stops there. The engineer's rule covering the same figures is softer in two ways the architect's is not: 864 IAC 1.1-7-2(a) says the engineer seal "shall generally be between" them, and it adds that plans containing an engineer seal of specified size may be reduced as long as the seal remains legible. Neither the hedge nor the reduction allowance appears in the architect's rule. (804 IAC 1.1-2-7(a); 864 IAC 1.1-7-2(a))
