The North Carolina rules in full, with citations

The seal design rule for engineers and land surveyors is 21 NCAC 56.1102;.1103 governs how the seal is used, and summaries that cite.1103 for the seal's appearance are citing the wrong rule. 21 NCAC 56.0104 describes the Board's own official seal — the Great Seal of the State with the Board name on the perimeter — and is not the licensee's seal. The Code and the statutes name the engineering and surveying board the "North Carolina State Board of Examiners for Engineers and Surveyors" (21 NCAC 56.0101; G.S. 47-30(d)), while the Board itself uses the shorter "North Carolina Board of Examiners for Engineers and Surveyors" on its own site; the Code form is used here. The North Carolina Administrative Code is published by the Office of Administrative Hearings on a server that answers over HTTP only, which is why the rule links here are http:// rather than https://. Architects and registered interior designers are regulated by the same board under Chapter 83A and share rule .0206, but the two seals are specified separately: subparagraph (a)(3) is the architect's circular seal, (a)(5) the interior designer's oval seal. Rule .0206 was last amended effective June 1, 2022.

Interior Designer seal

Board:: North Carolina Board of Architecture and Registered Interior Designers
Rule:: N.C. Gen. Stat. § 83A-10(b); 21 NCAC 02 .0206
Diameter:: Two inches tall by 2.75 inches wide. The rule prescribes an oval, not a circle, so there is no single diameter: "The dimensions shall be two inches tall by 2.75 inches wide."
Legend:: “North Carolina, Registered Interior Designer”

Each registered interior designer shall obtain a seal as prescribed by the Board. A document issued by the registered interior designer and being filed for public record shall bear the signature and seal of the interior designer who prepared or approved the document and the date on which it was sealed. (N.C. Gen. Stat. § 83A-10(b))
The standard design of the seal shall be two concentric ovals in which "North Carolina" and the name of the registrant are placed within the outermost oval and in which the registration number of the registrant and "Registered Interior Designer" be placed within the innermost oval. The dimensions shall be two inches tall by 2.75 inches wide. (21 NCAC 02 .0206(a)(5)(B))
The seal may be a rubber stamp, embossed seal, computer-generated seal, or other facsimile that becomes a permanent addition to original paper drawings or sets of specifications for use in this State. "For use in this State" means drawings and sets of specifications prepared for bidding, procurement, permitting, or for construction. (21 NCAC 02 .0206(a)(5)(A))
The original, handwritten signature of the individual named on the seal shall be considered part of the individual seal and shall appear across the face of each original seal imprint along with the date of affixation. The use of signature reproductions such as rubber stamps, computer generated, or other facsimiles on paper are not permitted in lieu of actual handwritten and hand dated signatures. (21 NCAC 02 .0206(a)(5)(C))
A registered interior designer may seal those portions of the professional work that were prepared by or under the responsible control of persons who are registered interior designers in this State if the registered interior designer has reviewed in whole or in part such portions and has either coordinated their preparation or integrated them into their work. (21 NCAC 02 .0206(a)(2))
Registered interior designers shall affix their seal on one original of all their drawings and sets of specifications prepared by them for use in this State: on the cover sheet of each design and on each drawing prepared for the design; on the index page identifying each set of specifications; and on the index page of all other technical submissions. (21 NCAC 02 .0206(a)(7))
Presentation documents, such as renderings used to communicate conceptual information, shall not be sealed or signed. (21 NCAC 02 .0206(a)(8))
Documents considered incomplete may be released for interim review without the seal or signature affixed, but shall be dated, bear the registered interior designer's name, and be marked "Incomplete - for interim review only and not intended for bidding, procurement, permit, or construction purposes." (21 NCAC 02 .0206(a)(9))
Sheets or pages prepared by licensed professional consultants, such as structural, mechanical or electrical engineers retained by the registered interior designer, shall bear the seal and license number of the consultant responsible and shall not be sealed by the registered interior designer. (21 NCAC 02 .0206(a)(10))
The use of the prescribed seal on paper is an individual act whereby the registered interior designer must personally sign over the imprint of the seal. By sealing documents for use in this State the registrant represents that he or she is in responsible control over the content of such documents and has applied the required professional standard of care; the registrant is responsible for security of the seal when not in use. (21 NCAC 02 .0206(a)(11))
Documents electronically transmitted beyond the direct control of the registrant that are signed using a digital signature shall contain the authentication procedure in a secure mode and a list of the hardware, software, and parameters used to prepare the documents; the digital signature shall be unique to the person using it, capable of verification, under that person's sole control, and linked to the document so that it is invalidated if any data in the document is changed. (21 NCAC 02 .0206(d))
Documents for use in this State transmitted electronically beyond the registrant's direct control shall have the computer-generated image of the seal removed from the original file unless signed with a digital signature, and after removal must carry: "This document was originally issued and sealed by (name of sealer), (license or registration number), on (date of sealing). This medium shall not be considered a certified document." (21 NCAC 02 .0206(e))
A registered interior design firm's seal is two concentric ovals with the firm's approved name between the inner and outer ovals and the firm's registration number in the innermost oval, sized 2 to 2.75 inches; the firm seal is affixed in addition to, and does not replace, the individual seal on the cover sheet. (21 NCAC 02 .0206(a)(6), (a)(12))

North Carolina Interior Designer Seal FAQs

Frequently asked questions about North Carolina digital interior designer stamps and seals.

How do I obtain a digital North Carolina interior designer seal or stamp?

Once you are licensed in North Carolina, 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.C. Gen. Stat. § 83A-10(b); 21 NCAC 02 .0206, which is the provision the North Carolina Board of Architecture and Registered Interior Designers will measure the seal against.

What are the requirements for the North Carolina interior designer stamp or seal?

North Carolina’s interior designer stamp rule is N.C. Gen. Stat. § 83A-10(b); 21 NCAC 02 .0206, administered by the North Carolina Board of Architecture and Registered Interior Designers, a different body from the engineering board. The seal must carry “North Carolina, Registered Interior Designer”, and two inches tall by 2.75 inches wide. The rule prescribes an oval, not a circle, so there is no single diameter: "The dimensions shall be two inches tall by 2.75 inches wide."

A further 13 requirements, each tied to the subsection that imposes it, are itemised in the North Carolina requirements section on this page.

What size does a North Carolina interior designer stamp have to be?

Two inches tall by 2.75 inches wide. The rule prescribes an oval, not a circle, so there is no single diameter: "The dimensions shall be two inches tall by 2.75 inches wide." This is set by 21 NCAC 02 .0206(a)(5)(B).

Is the North Carolina interior designer's seal round?

No. Unlike the architect's seal in the same rule, which is two concentric circles 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 inches in diameter, the registered interior designer's seal is two concentric ovals measuring 2 inches tall by 2.75 inches wide. (21 NCAC 02 .0206(a)(3)(B), (a)(5)(B))

Can the signature and date be part of the stamp?

No. The handwritten signature is part of the individual seal and must appear across the face of each original seal imprint with the date; rubber-stamp, computer-generated or other facsimile signatures are prohibited on paper. (21 NCAC 02 .0206(a)(5)(C))

Which rule is the seal rule?

21 NCAC 02 .0106, titled "Seal of Board", is the Board's own corporate seal — the Great Seal of the State of North Carolina with the Board name on the perimeter. The registrant's seal is 21 NCAC 02 .0206. (21 NCAC 02 .0106; 21 NCAC 02 .0206)
