Your Vermont Architect seal from pedigitalstamps.com meets every requirement on this page — the layout set out in Administrative Rules of the Vermont Board of Architects, Rule 3.2 (License Certificates and Seals), eff. May 19, 1999. Fill in your details and download it in seconds.
26 V.S.A. § 1163 is "Exemptions" and says nothing about seals; the seal statute is 26 V.S.A. § 1188. Justia and Cornell index the Board's rules as CVR 04-030-100, but that designation could not be read on a State-published page, so the rule is cited here by name and section. CVR 04-030-242 is not the engineering board.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Vermont digital architect stamps and seals.
Once you are licensed in Vermont, 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 Administrative Rules of the Vermont Board of Architects, Rule 3.2 (License Certificates and Seals), eff. May 19, 1999, which is the provision the Vermont Board of Architects will measure the seal against.
Vermont’s architect stamp rule is Administrative Rules of the Vermont Board of Architects, Rule 3.2 (License Certificates and Seals), eff. May 19, 1999, administered by the Vermont Board of Architects, a different body from the engineering board. Rule 3.2 prescribes no size for the architect's seal.
A further 5 requirements, each tied to the subsection that imposes it, are itemised in the Vermont requirements section on this page.
Administrative Rules of the Vermont Board of Architects, Rule 3.2 (License Certificates and Seals), eff. May 19, 1999 governs the Vermont architect’s seal but does not prescribe a diameter. Sizes quoted for Vermont 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.
No — the Office of Professional Regulation supplies it. After an applicant is approved for licensure, the Office sends the architect an exact replica of the seal design to be used in the State of Vermont, and the seal the architect puts into use impresses that same design plus the architect's name. There is no legend to choose and no artwork to specify: the only licensee-specific element the rule adds to the issued design is the name, so a Vermont architect's seal reproduces the replica the Office issued rather than a written specification an architect can build a design from. (Rule 3.2)
Yes, and filing it is the step most often missed. Rule 3.2 requires the architect to send an impression of the seal to the Office for filing, so the Office holds that impression against the design it issued. The filed impression is the reference for the seal a Vermont architect puts on a drawing: it has to be the design the Office issued and the design the impression on file records, not a version rebuilt to look close to it. (Rule 3.2)
The rule does not ask for one. Rule 3.2 prescribes the design the Office issues plus the architect's name, and it states no legend wording, no diameter and no license number; the statute behind it requires only a seal of such design as the Board shall authorize and direct. Whatever the issued replica shows is the specification, so a Vermont architect cannot answer this question from the rule text alone the way a licensee in most states can. (Rule 3.2; 26 V.S.A. § 208)
Neither the rule nor the statute requires it. Both say only that plans and specifications prepared by or under the direct supervision of the licensed architect shall be stamped with the licensee's seal. That is a real divergence from Vermont's engineering board, whose rule defines sealing as the application of the seal and the signature and requires instruments of service to be labeled as to purpose — none of which is imposed on architects. (Rule 3.2; 26 V.S.A. § 208; cf. Vermont Board of Professional Engineering Rule 2.7(a), (e))
