The Virginia rules in full, with citations

18VAC10-20-740 is "Professional responsibility", not the seal rule, and 18VAC10-20-750 is repealed; the seal provision is 18VAC10-20-760. The APELSCIDLA board's general review of 18VAC10-20 took effect May 1, 2026 (Virginia Register Vol. 42, Issue 16), which also repealed 18VAC10-20-780 and added 18VAC10-20-785. Any copy of the chapter dated before that is stale.

Rule:
18VAC10-20-760 (Use of seal)
Diameter:
Two inches in diameter. The rule fixes one size and states no minimum or maximum.
Legend:
“PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER”
  • The original seal must conform in detail and size to the design illustrated in the rule. The designs as printed may not be shown to scale. (18VAC10-20-760 F)
  • The illustrated professional engineer design is a circle with a beaded outer border: "COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA" on the top arc, the professional's name and "Lic. No." with the number in the center, and "PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER" on the bottom arc. (18VAC10-20-760 F)
  • The number on the seal is the last six-digit number as shown on the license or certificate. The number is permanent, and leading zeros contained in the six-digit number may be omitted from the seal. (18VAC10-20-760 F)
  • Affixing a professional seal, signature, and date indicates that the professional has exercised direct control and personal supervision over the work to which it is affixed and accepts responsibility for the work shown. (18VAC10-20-760 A)
  • All final documents, including cover sheet of plans, plats, documents, drawings, technical reports, and specifications, and each sheet of plans or plats or drawings, must be sealed, signed, and dated. (18VAC10-20-760 B 1)
  • All final documents must also bear the professional's name or firm name, address, and project name. (18VAC10-20-760 B 1)
  • An electronic seal, signature, and date may be used in lieu of an original if it is a unique identification of the professional, is verifiable, and is under the professional's direct control. (18VAC10-20-760 C)
  • Incomplete plans, plats, documents, and drawings, whether advance or preliminary copies, must be so identified on the document and need not be sealed, signed, or dated. (18VAC10-20-760 D)
  • The rule speaks of "the original seal" and of an electronic seal. It does not address the medium of a physical impression, so it neither authorizes nor forbids a rubber stamp. (18VAC10-20-760 C, F)

FAQ

Virginia Engineer Seal FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Virginia digital engineer stamps and seals.

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

Once you are licensed in Virginia, 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 18VAC10-20-760 (Use of seal), which is the provision the Board for Architects, Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors, Certified Interior Designers and Landscape Architects will measure the seal against.

What are the requirements for the Virginia PE stamp or seal?

Virginia’s PE seal rule is 18VAC10-20-760 (Use of seal), administered by the Board for Architects, Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors, Certified Interior Designers and Landscape Architects. The seal must carry “PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER”, and two inches in diameter. The rule fixes one size and states no minimum or maximum.

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

What size does a Virginia PE seal have to be?

Two inches in diameter. The rule fixes one size and states no minimum or maximum. This is set by 18VAC10-20-760 F.

Can a Virginia PE seal be 1½ inches instead of 2 inches?

Two inches is the required diameter, not a ceiling. The "minimum 1½ inches, maximum 2 inches" range quoted for Virginia is in no part of 18VAC10-20-760, and a 1½-inch Virginia seal does not conform to the illustrated design. (18VAC10-20-760 F)

Can a Virginia PE seal use "P.E." instead of "Professional Engineer"?

The legend is the full words "PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER". "P.E." appears in none of the seven illustrated designs and is not an authorized substitute. (18VAC10-20-760 F)

Which license number goes on a Virginia PE seal?

The number goes on the seal as "Lic. No." followed by the last six digits shown on the license, not the whole number printed on the license. Leading zeros within those six digits may be omitted. (18VAC10-20-760 F)

Does every sheet of a Virginia plan set have to be sealed, signed and dated?

The date is part of what is affixed, not a title-block entry. Every sheet of plans, plats or drawings must be sealed, signed, and dated, not only the cover sheet. (18VAC10-20-760 A, B 1)
