South Carolina PE Stamp Requirements

Board approved

Your South Carolina Professional Engineer seal from pedigitalstamps.com meets every requirement on this page — the required wording, the layout and the diameter set out in S.C. Code Regs. R.49-207 (Seals: Individuals and Firms); S.C. Code Ann. § 40-22-270. Fill in your details and download it in seconds.

The South Carolina rules in full, with citations

The statute and the regulation disagree on one legend. For an engineer licensed after July 1, 2001, S.C. Code Ann. § 40-22-270(1) prescribes "Professional Engineer" while R.49-207(A)(1)(b) prescribes "Licensed Professional Engineer". The Board has published no ruling resolving it. Separately, the Chapter 49 heading still reads "Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors"; the board's name under § 40-22-10(A) is "Professional Engineers and Surveyors".

Professional Engineer seal

Board:
South Carolina State Board of Registration for Professional Engineers and Surveyors
Diameter:
At least 1 1/2 inches in diameter and similar to that prescribed for the Board. The regulation states no maximum.
Legend (any one of):
“Registered Professional Engineer” · “Licensed Professional Engineer” · “Professional Engineer and Surveyor”
  • In the center there shall appear the license number of the licensee along with the words "Registered Professional Engineer" for engineers licensed prior to July 1, 2001, or "Licensed Professional Engineer" for engineers licensed after July 1, 2001. (R.49-207(A)(1)(a)-(b))
  • An engineer holding dual licenses uses the legend "Professional Engineer and Surveyor". (R.49-207(A)(1)(c))
  • The statute adds two elements the regulation leaves out: the seal must bear the licensee's name, and it must bear evidence of the license category. (S.C. Code Ann. § 40-22-270(1))
  • The words "South Carolina" are expressly required only on the firm's Certificate of Authorization seal. The individual-seal rule does not require them. (R.49-207(A)(1), (B)(1))
  • Rubber stamps (wet seal), raised embossed seals or computer-generated seals identical in size, design and content with the approved impression seals may be used. (R.49-207(A)(2))
  • The signature and the date the document was prepared go under or across the face and beyond the circumference of the seal, in a manner that does not obliterate or render illegible the licensee's name and number. (R.49-207(C)(2); S.C. Code Ann. § 40-22-270(6))
  • Documents transmitted electronically shall have the computer-generated seal removed from the original file, and a copy of the project report shall be signed, sealed and sent to the client. The electronic data carries this text in lieu of the signature and date: "This document originally was issued and sealed by (name of sealer), (license number), on (date of sealing). The electronic media shall not be considered a certified document." (R.49-207(C)(5))
  • Where the practice is provided through a firm, the documents shall also carry the Certificate of Authorization seal. (R.49-207(C)(2))

FAQ

South Carolina Engineer Seal FAQs

Frequently asked questions about South Carolina digital engineer stamps and seals.

How do I obtain a digital South Carolina professional engineer (PE) seal or stamp?

Once you are licensed in South 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 S.C. Code Regs. R.49-207 (Seals: Individuals and Firms); S.C. Code Ann. § 40-22-270, which is the provision the South Carolina State Board of Registration for Professional Engineers and Surveyors will measure the seal against.

What are the requirements for the South Carolina PE stamp or seal?

South Carolina’s PE seal rule is S.C. Code Regs. R.49-207 (Seals: Individuals and Firms); S.C. Code Ann. § 40-22-270, administered by the South Carolina State Board of Registration for Professional Engineers and Surveyors. The seal must carry any one of “Registered Professional Engineer”, “Licensed Professional Engineer”, “Professional Engineer and Surveyor”, and at least 1 1/2 inches in diameter and similar to that prescribed for the Board. The regulation states no maximum.

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

What size does a South Carolina PE seal have to be?

At least 1 1/2 inches in diameter and similar to that prescribed for the Board. The regulation states no maximum. This is set by R.49-207(A)(1).

Must a South Carolina engineer remove the seal from a file sent electronically?

A file transmitted electronically must have the computer-generated seal removed from it. The sealed copy goes to the client separately, and the electronic file carries the prescribed "shall not be considered a certified document" sentence in place of the signature and date. (R.49-207(C)(5))

Which legend goes on a South Carolina professional engineer seal?

There is no single engineer legend. Which of the three applies depends on whether you were licensed before or after July 1, 2001, and on whether you hold a dual license. "P.E." is not an authorized legend in either the statute or the regulation. (R.49-207(A)(1))

Is 1¾ inches the maximum size for a South Carolina engineer seal?

The 1¾-inch figure often quoted as a South Carolina maximum is the architect rule, R.11-11(C), where it is an exact dimension. The engineer and surveyor rule sets a 1½-inch minimum and no maximum. (R.49-207(A)(1))

What does South Carolina's seal statute require that the regulation leaves out?

The statute requires elements the regulation omits: the licensee's name on the seal, evidence of the license category for engineers, and the tier designation for surveyors. (S.C. Code Ann. § 40-22-270(1))

I am also a registered land surveyor — is there a combined stamp?
Yes. The South Carolina Engineer and Surveyor stamp carries both credentials on one seal, so a licensee who is also a registered land surveyor does not need two separate stamps.
