Connecticut Interior Designer seal requirements: proper sizing, signing and sealing of documents
As of
Connecticut registers interior designers by title through the Department of Consumer Protection, and the seal is optional: Conn. Gen. Stat. § 20-377l(b) says a person holding a certificate of registration "may utilize a seal", and that the seal "shall only include" the registrant's name, the words "Registered Interior Designer, State of Connecticut" and the registration number. No diameter is prescribed anywhere in the chapter. The Department's regulations under the chapter, RCSA §§ 20-377t-1 through 20-377t-3, cover application, continuing education and reciprocity only and add no seal rule.
The 1¼-to-2-inch range often quoted for Connecticut appears in no Connecticut authority. The Board prescribes a single diameter, 1½ inches. CGS § 20-304 is only the enabling authority for seal regulations, and CGS § 20-302 is "Requirements for licensure" — neither describes the seal. Connecticut is a title-registration state administered by the Commissioner of Consumer Protection rather than by a design board. The seal subsection is comparatively recent — P.A. 13-110 added § 20-377l(b) effective July 1, 2014.

Connecticut Interior Designer seal
- Seal requirements
- Conn. Gen. Stat. § 20-377l(b)
- Legend
- “Registered Interior Designer, State of Connecticut”
- Diameter
- No diameter is prescribed. Conn. Gen. Stat. § 20-377l(b) states no dimension, and the regulations adopted under § 20-377t — RCSA §§ 20-377t-1 (application), 20-377t-2 (continuing education) and 20-377t-3 (reciprocity) — contain no seal rule at all.
- Expiration date
- The statute's list is closed — the seal "shall only include" the name, the prescribed words and the registration number — so no expiration or renewal date belongs on it.(Conn. Gen. Stat. § 20-377l(b))
- Signature date
- Nothing in chapter 396a requires a signature or a date on a sealed document; § 20-377l addresses only what the seal itself may contain, and the regulations under § 20-377t add nothing on the point.(Conn. Gen. Stat. § 20-377l; RCSA §§ 20-377t-1 to 20-377t-3)
- City on seal
- No city, address or firm name may appear: the seal "shall only include" the three listed items.(Conn. Gen. Stat. § 20-377l(b))
- Any person holding a certificate of registration under this chapter may utilize a seal. Such seal shall only include: (1) The name of such person, (2) the words "Registered Interior Designer, State of Connecticut", and (3) such person's registration number.(Conn. Gen. Stat. § 20-377l(b))
- No person shall use the title "registered interior designer" or display or use any words, letters, figures, title, sign, seal, advertisement or other device to indicate that such person is a registered interior designer in this state, unless such person has obtained a certificate of registration under §§ 20-377k to 20-377v, or is an architect licensed in this state.(Conn. Gen. Stat. § 20-377l(a))
- Read and found silent: chapter 396a nowhere requires any document to be sealed, and the regulations adopted under § 20-377t are limited to the application for registration, continuing education and reciprocity. Neither the statute nor the regulations name any document class that must bear the seal.(Conn. Gen. Stat. §§ 20-377k to 20-377v; RCSA §§ 20-377t-1 to 20-377t-3)
Connecticut interior designer seal questions
Can anything else be added to a Connecticut interior designer's seal?▾
No. Section 20-377l(b) is a closed list — the seal "shall only include" the registrant's name, the words "Registered Interior Designer, State of Connecticut" and the registration number — so a firm name, an address, an expiration date or a decorative state device is outside what the statute permits. (Conn. Gen. Stat. § 20-377l(b))
Is a Connecticut interior designer required to have a seal?▾
No. The statute is permissive: a registrant "may utilize a seal." Connecticut regulates only the title, and the chapter names no document that must be sealed. (Conn. Gen. Stat. § 20-377l(b))
