FAQ

Maryland Land Surveyor Seal FAQs

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

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

Once you are licensed in Maryland, 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 Md. Code, Bus. Occ. & Prof. § 15-501 (Seal), which is the provision the State Board for Professional Land Surveyors will measure the seal against.

What are the requirements for the Maryland land surveyor seal?

Maryland’s land surveyor seal rule is Md. Code, Bus. Occ. & Prof. § 15-501 (Seal), administered by the State Board for Professional Land Surveyors, a different body from the engineering board. The seal must carry any one of “professional land surveyor”, “licensed property line surveyor”, and the statute prescribes no diameter; the design is determined by the Board.

A further 2 requirements, each tied to the subsection that imposes it, are itemised in the Maryland requirements section on this page.

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

Md. Code, Bus. Occ. & Prof. § 15-501 (Seal) governs the Maryland land surveyor’s seal but does not prescribe a diameter. Sizes quoted for Maryland 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.

What has to appear on a Maryland land surveyor's seal?

Two things only: the legend and the licensee's name. Md. Code, Bus. Occ. & Prof. § 15-501(b) provides that the seal shall be of a design determined by the Board and shall include the legend and the name of the licensee who holds the seal. There is no statutory requirement for a license number, for the words "State of Maryland", or for the pictorial device of the Great Seal of Maryland that the engineer's and architect's seals must carry at their center. A Maryland surveyor's seal is built to a shorter specification than either of the other two professions'. (Md. Code, Bus. Occ. & Prof. § 15-501(b))

Which legend belongs on a Maryland land surveyor's seal?

One of two, depending on which license is held. Md. Code, Bus. Occ. & Prof. § 15-501(b)(2)(i) gives the legend as either "professional land surveyor" or "licensed property line surveyor", and § 15-502(a) treats the two as distinct licensees, each endorsing documents in their own right. Maryland licenses property line surveyors as a separate class; a property line surveyor's seal reading "professional land surveyor" claims a license the holder does not have. (Md. Code, Bus. Occ. & Prof. § 15-501(b)(2)(i); § 15-502(a))

Does a Maryland land surveyor sign as well as seal a plat?

On a plat, yes — though the endorsement statute alone would not tell you so. Md. Code, Bus. Occ. & Prof. § 15-502(a) requires the surveyor who prepared a plan, plat, report or specification to endorse on it the licensee's name and the seal or a facsimile of the seal before issuing it to a client or submitting it to a public authority. Name and seal: no signature and no date. The signature and date come from the minimum standards instead — COMAR 09.13.06.03F(3) requires every boundary survey plat to show a Date, the name and address of the surveyor or firm, and the seal and signature of the surveyor who personally prepared the survey or was in responsible charge over it. The engineer's statute, by contrast, calls for the original signature and the date of signature on its face. (Md. Code, Bus. Occ. & Prof. § 15-502(a); COMAR 09.13.06.03F(3)(c), (e) and (g); Md. Code, Bus. Occ. & Prof. § 14-4A-02(a))

What certification does a Maryland land surveyor add when sealing?

A prescribed one whose wording is not the engineers' or the architects'. COMAR 09.13.06.12.I requires the licensee, when signing and sealing surveying documents, to indicate the license expiration date on the documents before submitting them and to include the statement: "Professional Certification. I hereby declare that these documents were prepared or approved by me or under my responsible charge, and that I am a duly licensed land surveyor under the laws of the State of Maryland, License No._____, and License Expiration Date: _______________." Two words repay attention — it is "declare", not "certify", and "licensed land surveyor", not the seal's own legend of "professional land surveyor". (COMAR 09.13.06.12.I; Md. Code, Bus. Occ. & Prof. § 15-501(b)(2)(i))
