The Louisiana rules in full, with citations

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.

  • A land surveyor places the effective date with the seal, not the date of execution. This is where the surveyor's practice departs from the engineer's. (LAC 46:LXI.2701.A.4.a.ii)

FAQ

Louisiana Land Surveyor Seal FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Louisiana digital land surveyor stamps and seals.

How do I obtain a digital Louisiana land surveyor seal or stamp?

Once you are licensed in Louisiana, 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 LAC 46:LXI.2701 (Seal and Signature), which is the provision the Louisiana Professional Engineering and Land Surveying Board will measure the seal against.

What are the requirements for the Louisiana land surveyor seal?

Louisiana’s land surveyor seal rule is LAC 46:LXI.2701 (Seal and Signature), administered by the Louisiana Professional Engineering and Land Surveying Board. The seal must carry “Professional Land Surveyor”, and two sizes are acceptable: a 1-5/8 inch seal, commonly used in pocket seals, and a 2 inch seal, commonly used in desk seals. These are two discrete sizes, not a continuous range.

A further 4 requirements, each tied to the subsection that imposes it, are itemised in the Louisiana requirements section on this page.

What size does a Louisiana land surveyor seal have to be?

Two sizes are acceptable: a 1-5/8 inch seal, commonly used in pocket seals, and a 2 inch seal, commonly used in desk seals. These are two discrete sizes, not a continuous range. This is set by LAC 46:LXI.2701.A.2.c.

What date does a Louisiana land surveyor place with the seal?

The effective date, which is not the date you signed. LAC 46:LXI.2701.A.4.a.ii requires professional land surveyors to affix their seal, sign their name and place the effective date on all land surveying documents issued to a client or any public or governmental agency as completed work, and defines effective date as the date the professional land surveyor certifies that the document represents his or her work. Professional engineers, in the subparagraph immediately before it, place the date of execution. (LAC 46:LXI.2701.A.4.a.ii; LAC 46:LXI.2701.A.4.a.i)

Do compiled as-built drawings need a Louisiana land surveyor's seal?

Yes, where an engineer's do not. LAC 46:LXI.2701.A.4.a.v.(b) states that preparing compiled land surveying as-built record drawings is the practice of land surveying and that such drawings are required to be sealed, signed and dated by a professional land surveyor; they must also contain notes identifying the sources of the data and a disclaimer stating whether or not the surveyor has verified it. The subparagraph immediately above says the opposite for engineering as-builts — their preparation is not the practice of engineering and they are not required to be sealed or signed. (LAC 46:LXI.2701.A.4.a.v.(a), (b))

Can a Louisiana land surveying firm hold its own seal?

No. LAC 46:LXI.2701.A.1.b states flatly that firms are not authorized to possess or use seals. The seal is personal: under §2701.A.1.a each professional land surveyor obtains an official seal upon licensure, and under §2701.A.3.a it is the application of that individual's seal, signature and date that certifies the work was done by the licensee or under the licensee's responsible charge — a firm seal, or a firm name in place of the licensee's own, is not an option the rule offers. (LAC 46:LXI.2701.A.1.a, A.1.b, A.3.a)

What must a Louisiana land surveyor put on a preliminary plat?

Two things, and only one of them is the warning. LAC 46:LXI.2701.A.4.b.i requires preliminary documents to be marked in large bold letters with one or more of four statements — "Preliminary—Not For Construction", "Preliminary—For Permit Purposes Only", "Preliminary—For Review Only" or "Preliminary—Not For Recordation, Conveyances or Sales". A.4.b.ii then excuses the seal, signature and date but still requires the document to bear the name and license number of the licensee, and the name of the licensee's firm if applicable. (LAC 46:LXI.2701.A.4.b.i, A.4.b.ii)
