The New Mexico rules in full, with citations

The engineering and surveying board's legal name is the "state board of licensure for professional engineers and professional surveyors" (NMSA 1978 § 61-23-5(A); 16.39.1.8(A) NMAC); its own website styles it "New Mexico Board of Licensure for Professional Engineers & Professional Surveyors". NMAC prints the engineer and surveyor legends in lower case — "professional engineer", "professional surveyor" — while capitalizing "New Mexico" in the same sentence; the rule prescribes the words and does not address letter case. Do not copy 16.39.1.8(B) NMAC, which describes an embossed 1¾-inch seal of two concentric circles reading "state of New Mexico": that is the board's own official seal, not a licensee's. Engineers and surveyors licensed before the current rules who have kept the license without lapse may retain a previously approved seal (16.39.3.12(D), 16.39.5.11(D) NMAC). Both seal sections were last amended 12/16/2022 and remain the current text; the statute behind them has since moved ahead of the rule, in that NMSA 1978 §§ 61-23-19(B) and 61-23-27.8(B) now let the board "approve alternative authentications to physical or electronic seals", wording that 16.39.3.3 NMAC still quotes in its older, shorter form.

Professional Engineer seal

Board:
State Board of Licensure for Professional Engineers and Professional Surveyors
Diameter:
Three concentric circles — the outermost 1½ inches in diameter, the middle 1 inch and the innermost ½ inch. Paragraph (2) allows a board-approved alternative design instead, and that option prescribes no diameter at all, only text no less than 0.1 inches in height.
Legend:
“professional engineer”
  • The outer ring shall contain the words "professional engineer" and the licensee's name. (16.39.3.12(C)(1) NMAC)
  • The inner ring shall contain the words "New Mexico", and the center circle shall contain the license number issued by the board. Any border pattern used by the manufacturer is acceptable. (16.39.3.12(C)(1) NMAC)
  • In place of that geometry the licensee may use a design approved by the board containing the words "professional engineer", the licensee's name, "New Mexico" and the license number, each in text no less than 0.1 inches in height. That route requires the board's approval; it is not a free choice of layout. (16.39.3.12(C)(2) NMAC)
  • The seal appears on all final engineering design drawings, on the certification page of all specifications, and on engineering reports prepared by the licensee in responsible charge. Adjacent to the seal shall appear the licensee's original signature along with the date the signature was applied. (16.39.3.12(A) NMAC; NMSA 1978 § 61-23-21(B))
  • The seal may be an impression type seal, the rubber type, or a computer-generated facsimile. Computer-generated seals shall be bona fide copies of the actual seal specific to the work being presented. (16.39.3.12(B) NMAC)
  • Rubber stamp signatures are not acceptable. An electronic signature is acceptable as an option to a permanently legible signature, and the licensee shall provide adequate security regarding the use of the seal and signature. (16.39.3.12(A) and (H) NMAC)
  • When the document contains more than one sheet, the first or title page shall be sealed and signed by the licensee who was in responsible charge, and each sheet shall additionally be sealed and signed by the licensee responsible for that sheet. Where two or more licensees seal a document, a note under the seal designates the specific subject matter each is responsible for. (16.39.3.12(G) NMAC)
  • A licensee shall sign and seal only work within the licensee's area of discipline, even though the seal itself carries no discipline line. New Mexico approves engineers in specific disciplines and licensees may accept work only in those disciplines. (16.39.3.12(F) NMAC; 16.39.3.11(A) NMAC)

FAQ

New Mexico Engineer Seal FAQs

Frequently asked questions about New Mexico digital engineer stamps and seals.

How do I obtain a digital New Mexico professional engineer (PE) seal or stamp?

Once you are licensed in New Mexico, 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 16.39.3.12 NMAC (Seal of Licensee); NMSA 1978 §§ 61-23-19(A) and (B), 61-23-21(B), which is the provision the State Board of Licensure for Professional Engineers and Professional Surveyors will measure the seal against.

What are the requirements for the New Mexico PE stamp or seal?

New Mexico’s PE seal rule is 16.39.3.12 NMAC (Seal of Licensee); NMSA 1978 §§ 61-23-19(A) and (B), 61-23-21(B), administered by the State Board of Licensure for Professional Engineers and Professional Surveyors. The seal must carry “professional engineer”, and three concentric circles — the outermost 1½ inches in diameter, the middle 1 inch and the innermost ½ inch. Paragraph (2) allows a board-approved alternative design instead, and that option prescribes no diameter at all, only text no less than 0.1 inches in height.

A further 8 requirements, each tied to the subsection that imposes it, are itemised in the New Mexico requirements section on this page.

What size does a New Mexico PE seal have to be?

Three concentric circles — the outermost 1½ inches in diameter, the middle 1 inch and the innermost ½ inch. Paragraph (2) allows a board-approved alternative design instead, and that option prescribes no diameter at all, only text no less than 0.1 inches in height. This is set by 16.39.3.12(C)(1) NMAC.

Does a New Mexico engineer’s seal say "State of New Mexico"?

The engineer's and surveyor's seals carry "New Mexico", not "State of New Mexico". Only the architect's seal uses "STATE OF NEW MEXICO", and it sits on the upper arc rather than in a ring of its own. (16.39.3.12(C)(1) NMAC; 16.39.5.11(C)(1) NMAC; 16.30.3.18(A) NMAC)

Is there a permitted size range for a New Mexico engineer’s or architect’s seal?

There is no 1½-to-2-inch range in New Mexico. The engineer's and surveyor's seals are 1½ inches across the outermost circle and the architect's is 1¾ inches — each a single prescribed figure, not a permitted span. (16.39.3.12(C)(1) NMAC; 16.39.5.11(C)(1) NMAC; 16.30.3.18(A) NMAC)

Can a New Mexico seal use "P.E." or "P.S." instead of the title spelled out?

Both prescribed designs spell the title out. "P.E." and "P.S." are not among the elements the rule lists, and the surveyor's words are "professional surveyor" — not "professional land surveyor", which is the wording used in neighboring states. (16.39.3.12(C) NMAC; 16.39.5.11(C) NMAC)

Does a New Mexico engineer’s seal have two concentric circles or three?

The engineer's and surveyor's seals have three concentric circles, and the license number goes in the center circle rather than beneath the name. A two-circle seal is not the prescribed design and would need board approval as an alternative under Paragraph (2). (16.39.3.12(C) NMAC; 16.39.5.11(C) NMAC)

What must a New Mexico engineer include when signing a document with a digital signature?

A document an engineer or surveyor signs with a digital signature must itself carry an authentication procedure and a list of the hardware, software and parameters used to prepare it. This is the board policy that 16.39.3.12(A) NMAC refers to, and it asks for more than the seal and signature alone.
