Your New Jersey Land Surveyor seal from pedigitalstamps.com meets every requirement on this page — the required wording, the layout and the diameter set out in N.J.A.C. 13:40-8.1 (Signing and sealing of documents); N.J.A.C. 13:40-8.1A (Digital signatures and seals); N.J.S.A. 45:8-36. Fill in your details and download it in seconds.
N.J.A.C. 13:40-8.1(a) states no diameter itself; it requires that the design of the seal "shall be authorized by the Board." The Board supplies that design in a document it still hosts, "Guidelines on Seals and Title Blocks," which gives the authorized design as "ROUND: 1½" DIAMETER," "METAL-TYPE, EMBOSSING," and prints an illustration captioned "1 1/2 INCHES" showing STATE OF NEW JERSEY in the outer ring. That sheet is undated, is no longer linked from the Board's own applications or regulations pages, cites the title block rules by their pre-2006 numbers (13:40-1.1 through 1.3, recodified in 2006 as 13:40-8.2 and 8.3), and its "metal-type, embossing" specification predates the November 16, 2015 amendment that first allowed a digital seal. It is nonetheless the only published statement of the design the Board authorizes, so the diameter here comes from it and the caveat comes with it. New Jersey publishes no free official text of the Administrative Code: the Office of Administrative Law directs the public to LexisNexis, and both boards' regulations pages link instead to "the Justia unofficial code (that may not be current)," so the rule text here is taken from the boards' own adopted rules as published in the New Jersey Register. Both chapters are in force: N.J.A.C. 13:40 was readopted effective February 24, 2025 (57 N.J.R. 716(a)). The engineers' and surveyors' digital seal rule was loosened effective January 6, 2020 (52 N.J.R. 46(a)): former N.J.A.C. 13:40-8.1A(a)1iv was deleted, taking with it the requirement that a digitally sealed document be available in read-only format when transmitted, and the tamper condition became new (a)2, which asks only that modification after sealing be evident.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about New Jersey digital land surveyor stamps and seals.
Once you are licensed in New Jersey, 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 N.J.A.C. 13:40-8.1 (Signing and sealing of documents); N.J.A.C. 13:40-8.1A (Digital signatures and seals); N.J.S.A. 45:8-36, which is the provision the State Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors will measure the seal against.
New Jersey’s land surveyor seal rule is N.J.A.C. 13:40-8.1 (Signing and sealing of documents); N.J.A.C. 13:40-8.1A (Digital signatures and seals); N.J.S.A. 45:8-36, administered by the State Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors. The seal must carry any one of “Licensed Land Surveyor”, “Licensed Professional Engineer and Land Surveyor”, and the rule sets no diameter of its own; it requires that the design of the seal be authorized by the Board. The Board's published Guidelines on Seals and Title Blocks state that the authorized design of a seal is round, 1½ inches in diameter, and metal-type embossing, and illustrate the land surveyor variant at that same 1½ inches.
A further 6 requirements, each tied to the subsection that imposes it, are itemised in the New Jersey requirements section on this page.
The rule sets no diameter of its own; it requires that the design of the seal be authorized by the Board. The Board's published Guidelines on Seals and Title Blocks state that the authorized design of a seal is round, 1½ inches in diameter, and metal-type embossing, and illustrate the land surveyor variant at that same 1½ inches. This is set by N.J.A.C. 13:40-8.1(a); State Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors, Guidelines on Seals and Title Blocks.
The surveyor legend is "Licensed Land Surveyor," without "Professional," even though N.J.S.A. 45:8-36.1 lets the same licensee use the title "professional land surveyor" in practice and the subchapter heading itself reads "professional land surveyors." The legend is also the phrase spelled out, so "P.E." is not it. (N.J.A.C. 13:40-8.1(a); N.J.S.A. 45:8-36; N.J.S.A. 45:8-36.1)
Yes. N.J.A.C. 13:40-5.1(i)1 provides that where the description for conveyancing is supplied as a separate document rather than reproduced on the survey plat, that description shall be signed and sealed by the licensed professional land surveyor responsible for its preparation. A metes-and-bounds description issued as a loose page is a sealed document in New Jersey, not correspondence. (N.J.A.C. 13:40-5.1(i)1)
No. N.J.S.A. 45:8-45 bars any department, institution, commission, board or body of the State Government, or of any political subdivision, from receiving or filing a plan involving land surveying unless the seal of a land surveyor licensed under the chapter is affixed to it. The same section is more forgiving one clause earlier: a plan or specification involving professional engineering may be received bearing either a licensed professional engineer's seal or a registered architect's. The surveyor's seal has no such alternative. (N.J.S.A. 45:8-45)
With the sentence the rule dictates, placed where the seal would go. N.J.A.C. 13:40-8.1(f) requires incomplete and draft plans, documents and sketches — advanced or preliminary copies alike — to be conspicuously identified, and permits them to be signed but not sealed, provided the licensee inserts the language "This is not a sealed document" in place of the seal in the title block. Leaving the seal space empty, or writing some other caveat, is not what the rule asks for. (N.J.A.C. 13:40-8.1(f))
In the title block, not beside the seal. The sealing rule asks nothing of the seal beyond the name, the license number and the legend, and never calls for a date next to it; the requirement arrives instead through N.J.A.C. 13:40-8.3(a)5, which has the title block contain the signature of the person or persons in responsible charge and the date when signed. The statute behind the seal, N.J.S.A. 45:8-36, mentions no date at all. (N.J.A.C. 13:40-8.3(a)5; N.J.A.C. 13:40-8.1(a); N.J.S.A. 45:8-36)
