01. Certificates. Certificates of registration are issued to each Registrant on forms adopted by the Board. (7-1-25) 02. Seals. The seal may be a rubber stamp, crimp, or electronically generated image. The Registrant’s signature and date are also included. A signature may be a handwritten or digital signature. If the signature is handwritten, it will be adjacent to or across the seal. No further words or wording are required. (See “Appendix A” at end of this Chapter.) (7-1-25) IDAHO ADMINISTRATIVE CODE IDAPA 24.04.01 – Rules of the Board of Div. of Occupational & Professional Licenses Registration for Professional Geologists Section 400 Page 4 a. The seal, signature, and date must be placed on all final specifications, reports, information, and calculations. A document that is not final and does not contain a seal, signature, and date will be marked as “Preliminary,” “Draft,” or “Not for Construction.” (7-1-25) b. The seal, signature, and date must be placed on all original documents. The application of the Registrant’s seal, signature, and date constitutes certification that the work was done by the Registrant or under the Registrant’s supervision. Each plan or drawing sheet is sealed and signed by the Registrant or Registrants responsible for each sheet. In the case of a business entity, each plan or drawing sheet is sealed and signed by the Registrant or Registrants involved. The supervising professional geologist signs and seals the title or first sheet. Only the title page of reports, specifications, and like documents need bear the seal, signature, and date. (7-1-25) c. In the event a Registrant in responsible charge of a project is not available to seal, sign, and date final documents, the duty of responsible charge for the project is accomplished by successor Registrant by becoming familiar with and reviewing, in detail, and retaining the project documents to date. Subsequent work on the project must clearly and accurately reflect the successor Registrant’s responsible charge. The successor Registrant must seal, sign, and date all work product.
