Louisiana Interior Designer seal requirements: proper sizing, signing and sealing of documents
As of
Louisiana registers interior designers, and La. R.S. 37:3179.2 directs the board to prescribe the seal by rule. The board's rule, LAC 46:XLIII.909, prescribes the design only by reproducing an illustration: the registrant's name, the registration number, the Louisiana pelican device with "state of Louisiana", and "registered interior designer". Neither the statute nor the rule states a diameter.
The 1½-to-2-inch range quoted for Louisiana matches no provision of §2701; the rule gives two discrete sizes, 1-5/8 inch and 2 inch. The endorsement legend at §2701.A.2.a.v was added by the April 2025 amendment, LR 51:553. The board's rules are codified at LAC Title 46, Part XLIII; the Part was last amended November 2025, though §909 itself was last amended December 2014.

- Expiration date
- No expiration or renewal date appears on the seal. R.S. 37:3179.2(B) requires only the signature, registration number, seal and the date of sealing, and the illustration in LAC 46:XLIII.909.B carries only the name, registration number and legend.(La. R.S. 37:3179.2(B); LAC 46:XLIII.909.B)
- Signature date
- A document filed for public record must bear the date on which it was sealed, alongside the signature, registration number and seal.(La. R.S. 37:3179.2(B))
- City on seal
- No city, address or place of business is required on the seal; the statute and the rule illustration call for the name, registration number and legend only. A business address is required in advertising, not on the seal.(La. R.S. 37:3179.2(B), (G); LAC 46:XLIII.909.B)

Louisiana interior designer seal questions
Where does the Louisiana seal wording actually come from?▾
LAC 46:XLIII.909.B prescribes the seal only by reproducing an image — the rule contains no sentence listing the required words. Everything on the seal is read off that illustration. (LAC 46:XLIII.909.B)
Does the date belong on every drawing?▾
R.S. 37:3179.2(B) ties the signature, registration number, seal and date to documents "being filed for public record", while LAC 46:XLIII.909.A requires the seal on all drawings, renderings, or specifications prepared by or under the registrant. (La. R.S. 37:3179.2(B); LAC 46:XLIII.909.A)
