18VAC10-20-740 is "Professional responsibility", not the seal rule, and 18VAC10-20-750 is repealed; the seal provision is 18VAC10-20-760.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board's general review of 18VAC10-20 took effect May 1, 2026 (Virginia Register Vol. 42, Issue 16), which also repealed 18VAC10-20-780 and added 18VAC10-20-785.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

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Virginia digital land surveyor stamps and seals.
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.
Virginia’s land surveyor 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 “LAND SURVEYOR”, and two inches in diameter, the same fixed size as every other seal illustrated in the rule.
A further 3 requirements, each tied to the subsection that imposes it, are itemised in the Virginia requirements section on this page.
Two inches in diameter, the same fixed size as every other seal illustrated in the rule. This is set by 18VAC10-20-760 F.
No — the bottom arc of the illustrated design reads "LAND SURVEYOR", two words, with "COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA" above it and the name over "Lic. No." and the number in the center. A Land Surveyor B uses that same legend; what marks the B license is a "–B" appended to the number in the center of the seal, not a different word on the arc. (18VAC10-20-760 F)
No. The same board licenses surveyor photogrammetrists and illustrates a separate design for them — identical in layout, but reading "SURVEYOR PHOTOGRAMMETRIST" on the bottom arc. Virginia prescribes a distinct seal for each license the board issues, and the seal used is the one that matches the license the work is done under. (18VAC10-20-760 F)
More than authorship. Applying the professional's seal, signature and date to a land boundary survey is evidence that the survey is correct to the best of the professional's knowledge, information and belief and that it complies with the minimum standards and procedures set out in the chapter — the standards are pulled in by the act of sealing. The seal, signature and date are also an itemized requirement of the plat or map itself. (18VAC10-20-370 A, F 2 v)
Yes, when a licensed surveyor performs it. All work performed by a professional licensed or certified by this board, including work that is exempt from licensure under § 54.1-402 of the Code of Virginia, must be sealed, signed and dated in the same way as any other final document. (18VAC10-20-760 E, B)
No. The original seal must conform in detail and size to the illustrated design and must be two inches in diameter — one fixed dimension for every profession the board licenses, with no range around it. A stamp scaled down to fit a plat title block no longer conforms, and the designs as printed in the rule are expressly not shown to scale, so measuring the illustration is no guide. (18VAC10-20-760 F)
