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://. Three documents govern here and only one of them sits on a legislature site. G.S. 89A-2(c) was read at the linked ncleg.gov page. 21 NCAC 26 .0207 was read in the Office of Administrative Hearings’ published Chapter 26 rules (readopted effective April 1, 2018), which OAH serves only over http, at http://reports.oah.state.nc.us/ncac/title%2021%20-%20occupational%20licensing%20boards%20and%20commissions/chapter%2026%20-%20landscape%20architects/chapter%2026%20rules.html — port 443 refuses connections, so it cannot be linked over https. The design itself is the Board’s Seal Bulletin at https://www.ncbola.org/images/uploads/files/NCBLA_Seal_bulletin.pdf, which the Board’s FAQ links as the answer to “What are the requirements for my stamp or seal?”; it was fetched successfully on 2026-08-20 (HTTP 200, 110,019 bytes, Last-Modified 2023-07-13, byte-identical on repeated fetches). The bulletin’s PDF was produced in 2005 and its letterhead still shows a bellsouth.net contact address the Board has since replaced, but it remains the document the Board points licensees to for a copy of the seal. Its sample impression is a scan of a real impression rather than a dimensioned drawing, which is why this entry reports the size as unstated and gives the measured reproduction only as an approximation.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about North Carolina digital landscape architect stamps and seals.
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. § 89A-2(c); 21 NCAC 26 .0207; NCBLA Seal Bulletin (the design authorized by the Board), which is the provision the North Carolina Board of Landscape Architects will measure the seal against.
North Carolina’s landscape architect seal rule is N.C. Gen. Stat. § 89A-2(c); 21 NCAC 26 .0207; NCBLA Seal Bulletin (the design authorized by the Board), administered by the North Carolina Board of Landscape Architects, a different body from the engineering board. The seal must carry any one of “North Carolina Registered Landscape Architect”, “North Carolina Registered Landscape Architectural Corporation”, and no dimension is stated in figures. G.S. 89A-2(c) delegates the design to the Board without a measurement, and the words “inch,” “diameter” and “size” appear nowhere in 21 NCAC 26 — all 74 sections were searched. The Board does constrain size, but by reference rather than by number: the Seal Bulletin states that “the seal will conform in size and format to the sample impression at the end of this bulletin.” That impression is scanned artwork, not a dimensioned drawing; measured on the Board’s own PDF it is about 1.66 in wide by 1.60 in tall, i.e. roughly 1 5/8 in across. Treat that as the target the bulletin points at, not as a figure the Board has published.
A further 13 requirements, each tied to the subsection that imposes it, are itemised in the North Carolina requirements section on this page.
N.C. Gen. Stat. § 89A-2(c); 21 NCAC 26 .0207; NCBLA Seal Bulletin (the design authorized by the Board) governs the North Carolina landscape architect’s seal but does not prescribe a diameter. Sizes quoted for North Carolina 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.
“North Carolina” is spelled out on the seal, not abbreviated. The statute’s legend phrase is “N.C. Registered Landscape Architect,” but the statute delegates the artwork to the Board, and the design the Board authorized puts the words “North Carolina” in full across the top of the outer ring, with a star before and after them. A seal stamped “N.C. Registered Landscape Architect” on a single ring does not match the authorized design. (N.C. Gen. Stat. § 89A-2(c); NCBLA Seal Bulletin § B.3)
The wording is split across two rings and the centre is reserved. The certificate number goes alone in the inner circle, “Registered Landscape Architect” runs around the inner ring, and the registrant’s name sits at the bottom of the outer ring — a single-ring layout, or a name in the centre, is the wrong design. (NCBLA Seal Bulletin § B)
Do not put a date in the seal, and do not add anything else. The Board has expressly ruled that the date of registration shall not appear on the seal, and no information beyond the listed components may be added — no expiration date, no city, no firm name on an individual’s seal. (NCBLA Seal Bulletin §§ C, D)
The signature must run across the face of the seal, and the effective date must appear below the seal or elsewhere on the document; a signature set beside the seal does not meet the rule. (21 NCAC 26 .0207(c))
A new or changed seal must be filed with the Board. Each landscape architect and each landscape architectural corporation must send the Board, on letterhead, a sample impression of the seal it proposes to use, and must notify the Board of any change to it — a step easily missed after ordering a replacement stamp. (NCBLA Seal Bulletin § F)
Sending sealed CAD or vector files? The computer-generated seal must be removed from the transmitted file unless a conforming digital signature is used, and the rule’s replacement wording inserted in lieu of the signature and date. Only scanned files that cannot be altered are exempt. (21 NCAC 26 .0207(f), (g))
A landscape architect’s seal is never a substitute for an architect’s, engineer’s or land surveyor’s seal, and the Board may treat misuse of the seal as gross malpractice under G.S. 89A-7. (N.C. Gen. Stat. § 89A-2(c); 21 NCAC 26 .0207(e))
Each state licenses landscape architects under its own board and its own seal design. Every state below has its own landscape architect stamp generator.
