Ill. Admin. Code tit. 68, § 1270.58 - Seal and Signature Requirements
a) Every individual professional land
surveyor shall have a reproducible seal or facsimile, which may be computer
generated, the impression of which shall contain the name of the land surveyor,
his or her place of business, the license number of the professional land
surveyor, and the words "Professional Land Surveyor, State of Illinois". A
professional land surveyor shall seal all documents prepared by or under the
direct supervision and control of the professional land surveyor. Any seal on a
plat of survey, which bears the name of a professional design firm, rather than
bearing the name of the individual licensed professional land surveyor
responsible for the survey, shall be deemed an invalid seal. The individual
licensee's written signature and date of signing, along with the date of
license expiration, shall be placed adjacent to the seal. The licensee may
provide, at his or her sole discretion, an original signature in the licensee's
handwriting, a scanned copy of the document bearing an original signature, or a
signature generated by a computer.
b) It is unlawful to affix one's seal to
documents if doing so masks the true identity of the person who actually
exercised direction, control and supervision of the preparation of that work. A
Professional Land Surveyor who seals and signs documents is not responsible for
damage caused by subsequent changes to or uses of those documents when the
subsequent changes or uses, including changes or uses made by State or local
government agencies, are not authorized or approved by the Professional Land
Surveyor who originally sealed and signed the documents.
c) All technical submissions issued by a land
surveying firm, corporation, limited liability company, professional limited
liability company, or partnership are required to bear the corporate or assumed
business name and design firm registration number, in addition to the seal
requirements.
d) A suggested
facsimile of the design and lettering of the seal is found in Section
1270.ILLUSTRATION A.
