South Dakota Landscape Architect Stamp Requirements

Board approved

Your South Dakota Landscape Architect seal from pedigitalstamps.com meets every requirement on this page — the required wording, the layout and the diameter set out in SDCL 36-18A-44, 36-18A-45, 36-18A-45.1; ARSD 20:38:37:01. Fill in your details and download it in seconds.

The South Dakota rules in full, with citations

The seal contents and dimensions live in SDCL § 36-18A-44. ARSD 20:38:37:01, the administrative rule usually cited for South Dakota seals, governs use of the seal and states neither contents nor size. The board's Blue Book on dlr.sd.gov is still the 2020 edition, though its § 36-18A-44 text matches the current statute. One board, the South Dakota Board of Technical Professions, licenses engineers, architects, land surveyors and landscape architects, and a single statute — SDCL 36-18A-44 — prescribes the seal for all four, with only the title line differing.

Legend (any one of):: “Landscape Architect” · “Licensed Landscape Architect” · “Registered Landscape Architect”

"Any licensed professional engineer, architect, land surveyor, and landscape architect shall use an appropriate seal. The seal shall contain the following information: (1) The name, South Dakota; (2) Licensee's name; (3) License number; and (4) The appropriate title or combination of titles: Professional Engineer, Architect, Land Surveyor, Landscape Architect." (SDCL 36-18A-44)
"The seal shall be legible and shall have an outer circle with a diameter measuring at least one inch and no greater than two inches and an inner circle with a diameter measuring five-eighths of the diameter of the outer circle. Titles may be prefixed with the words, Licensed or Registered." (SDCL 36-18A-44)
"The seal may be an embossed seal, a rubber stamp, a computer-generated seal, or other facsimile found acceptable to the board. The licensee's signature and the date shall be adjacent to or across the seal." (SDCL 36-18A-44)
"The application of the licensee's seal and signature and the date constitutes certification that the work on which it was applied was done by the licensee or under the licensee's responsible charge." The seal, signature and date must be legibly reproducible on all originals, copies, tracings, electronic submittals or other reproductions of final drawings, specifications, reports, plats, plans, land surveys, design information and calculations presented to a client or any public or governmental agency. (SDCL 36-18A-45(1))
"Preliminary work shall contain a note that the submittal is Not for Construction, Preliminary, or other such explanation that it is not final." (SDCL 36-18A-45(2))
On projects involving licensees of more than one technical profession, the title or index sheet must be sealed, signed and dated by the prime professional in responsible charge of coordinating the professions involved, and each sheet must be sealed, signed and dated by the licensee or licensees who prepared it or are in responsible charge of it. (SDCL 36-18A-45(3))
A drawing, report or document signed and sealed using a digital signature must have an electronic authentication process attached to or logically associated with it. Use of a digital signature is optional; if used it must be unique to the licensee, capable of verification, under the licensee's sole control, and linked to the document so that the signature is invalidated if any data changes. Any hard copy printed from the transmitted file must bear the facsimile of the signature and seal, confirming the file was not altered after signing. (SDCL 36-18A-45.1)
"The seal shall be used on all final documents, including plats, reports, plans, and specifications. The seal implies responsibility for the entire submission unless the area of responsibility is clearly identified in the information accompanying the seal. Drawings prepared by a licensed professional shall have the seal and license number with a signature of the licensee who is in responsible charge on each sheet of those drawings." (ARSD 20:38:37:01)
"Review drafts or presentation documents, such as renderings or drawings used to communicate conceptual information only, are not required to be signed and sealed." Work performed during construction administration must be signed and sealed if it affects the intent of the project or changes its life safety aspects. (ARSD 20:38:37:01)

South Dakota Landscape Architect Seal FAQs

Frequently asked questions about South Dakota digital landscape architect stamps and seals.

How do I obtain a digital South Dakota landscape architect seal or stamp?

Once you are licensed in South Dakota, 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 SDCL 36-18A-44, 36-18A-45, 36-18A-45.1; ARSD 20:38:37:01, which is the provision the South Dakota Board of Technical Professions will measure the seal against.

What are the requirements for the South Dakota landscape architect stamp or seal?

South Dakota’s landscape architect seal rule is SDCL 36-18A-44, 36-18A-45, 36-18A-45.1; ARSD 20:38:37:01, administered by the South Dakota Board of Technical Professions. The seal must carry any one of “Landscape Architect”, “Licensed Landscape Architect”, “Registered Landscape Architect”, and the outer circle must have a diameter of at least one inch and no greater than two inches, and the inner circle a diameter of five-eighths of the outer circle's diameter.

A further 9 requirements, each tied to the subsection that imposes it, are itemised in the South Dakota requirements section on this page.

What size does a South Dakota landscape architect seal have to be?

The outer circle must have a diameter of at least one inch and no greater than two inches, and the inner circle a diameter of five-eighths of the outer circle's diameter. This is set by SDCL 36-18A-44.

Is the inner circle the right size?

South Dakota is unusual in dimensioning the inner ring as well as the outer: the inner circle must measure five-eighths of the outer circle's diameter, and the outer circle must fall between one and two inches. (SDCL 36-18A-44)

Does every sheet need the seal?

Yes for drawings — ARSD 20:38:37:01 requires the seal and license number with the signature of the licensee in responsible charge on each sheet, not just a cover or index sheet. (ARSD 20:38:37:01)

What about preliminary or conceptual work?

Preliminary submittals must carry a note reading Not for Construction, Preliminary or a similar explanation, while review drafts and presentation documents such as conceptual renderings are not required to be signed and sealed at all. (SDCL 36-18A-45(2); ARSD 20:38:37:01)
