Your New Mexico Land Surveyor seal from pedigitalstamps.com meets every requirement on this page — the required wording, the layout and the diameter set out in 16.39.5.11 NMAC (Seal of Licensee); NMSA 1978 §§ 61-23-27.8(A) and (B), 61-23-27.9(B). Fill in your details and download it in seconds.
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. For architects, NMSA 1978 § 61-15-7(A) states the legend as "Registered Architect--State of New Mexico" on one line while 16.30.3.18(A) NMAC splits the same words across the upper and lower arcs; the rule governs the layout. 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.

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 16.39.5.11 NMAC (Seal of Licensee); NMSA 1978 §§ 61-23-27.8(A) and (B), 61-23-27.9(B), which is the provision the State Board of Licensure for Professional Engineers and Professional Surveyors will measure the seal against.
New Mexico’s land surveyor seal rule is 16.39.5.11 NMAC (Seal of Licensee); NMSA 1978 §§ 61-23-27.8(A) and (B), 61-23-27.9(B), administered by the State Board of Licensure for Professional Engineers and Professional Surveyors. The seal must carry “professional surveyor”, and three concentric circles — the outermost 1½ inches in diameter, the middle 1 inch and the innermost ½ inch, the same geometry as the engineer's seal. A board-approved alternative design under Paragraph (2) prescribes no diameter, 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.
Three concentric circles — the outermost 1½ inches in diameter, the middle 1 inch and the innermost ½ inch, the same geometry as the engineer's seal. A board-approved alternative design under Paragraph (2) prescribes no diameter, only text no less than 0.1 inches in height. This is set by 16.39.5.11(C)(1) NMAC.
Not a plat. The minimum standards for surveying provide that a plat carries a certificate followed by the dated signature and seal of the surveyor responsible for the survey, stating that the surveyor conducted an actual survey on the ground and that the survey and plat meet the minimum standards for surveying in New Mexico, and that only one surveyor's signature and seal shall appear on a plat. That sits against the board's general sealing rule, which lets two or more licensees seal a multi-sheet document where a note under the seal designates the subject matter each is responsible for. On a plat of survey, one seal. (12.8.2.9(J)(2) NMAC; cf. 16.39.5.11(F) NMAC)
The seal, yes; the signature, no. 16.39.5.11(B) NMAC allows an impression type seal, the rubber type, or a computer-generated facsimile, provided a computer-generated seal is a bona fide copy of the actual seal specific to the work being presented. 16.39.5.11(A) NMAC then bars rubber stamps and all facsimiles of signatures and calls for the licensee's original signature adjacent to the seal, with an electronic signature as provided by law and board policy the only substitute. The surveyor's prohibition is worded more broadly than the engineer's, which bars rubber stamp signatures alone. (16.39.5.11(A) and (B) NMAC; cf. 16.39.3.12(A) NMAC)
It can be. 16.39.5.11(D) NMAC lets professional surveyors licensed before the enactment of the current rules, who have maintained that license without lapse, retain and use the seals, stamps and wall certificates previously approved. A colleague's stamp is therefore not evidence of the design a new licensee must order; that comes from 16.39.5.11(C) NMAC, which prescribes the three concentric circles or a design the board has approved as an alternative. (16.39.5.11(D) NMAC; 16.39.5.11(C) NMAC)
The surveyor of record, where new control points are involved — an engineer's seal on the rest of the set does not carry them. The board's advisory opinions state that a New Mexico licensed professional surveyor designated as the surveyor of record must sign and seal control sheets when new control points are used or established, and that an engineer may sign the entire plan set including the control sheets only where those sheets carry previously established survey information with no new points or new data. The board limits the opinion to public works construction and states that it is not required for private projects.
