Becoming a professional land surveyor in Wisconsin may seem easy enough, but there’s a good deal of work that goes into it. Amongst other things, you’ll need a sound understanding of the industry and you’ll have to know how to translate this with a bit of business acumen into your work as a land surveyor.
If you know what you’re doing, then you probably already know you need a Wisconsin land surveyor board-approved seal to legally operate a professional land surveying practice. Unfortunately, professional land surveyors in your shoes forget to review their seal before going out and getting started. Should anything be wrong with it, they won’t find out until it’s too late.
The Dimensions for the Wisconsin Professional Land Surveyors Seal
This is why you have to look over your Wisconsin land surveyor seal thoroughly before using it to make sure it meets every Wisconsin land surveyor stamp requirement. Fortunately, it’s a pretty simple seal, so this is fairly easy to do. Let’s begin with the dimensions.
The Wisconsin land surveyor seal can be anywhere between 1-5/8” and 2" in diameter. Typically, though, these professional land surveyor seals tend to be 1-5/8”, but it’s not required as long as it meets the dimensions listed above, it complies with board specifications.
Wisconsin Land Surveyor Seal Requirement
Then there’s the actual Wisconsin land surveyor seal itself and how it looks. Again, this is a pretty simple seal, so you shouldn’t have much trouble confirming if yours complies or not.
Along the perimeter, you should observe a perforated design. Then, inside the seal, you’ll notice there is another circle. This one, though, is outlined in dots.
Going across the top of the seal is the word, “Wisconsin.” The state’s name is bookended by two stars. Going across the bottom, you should read, “Land Surveyor.”
Now, in the middle circle, four pieces of information must be displayed. First, there is the name of the permit holder, which must be shown as it was originally prepared on your application. Then, you should have your permit number listed. After that, the city and state you practice in.
That’s all there is to the Wisconsin land surveyor seal. Take a minute when you get yours to look it over quickly and you’ll be able to rest assured yours complies with using it. Doing so might end up saving you a lot of money and frustration.
The Products That A Wisconsin Land Surveyor Is Authorized To Use
There is not only one rubber stamp type that is allowed by the Wisconsin land surveying board. As long as it meets the listed requirements, you can use a self-inking stamp, a regular rubber stamp, or even a computer-generated electronic seal in conjunction with an electronic signature. We provide such a seal with each rubber stamp or seal sold at ESS, and they can be particularly helpful to add to electronic submissions or other public documents created by electronic means. Another thing to note is that there is no dual licensure, so if you are a Wisconsin land surveyor who is also a landscape architect, professional engineer, or a regular Wisconsin registered architect, you will need a registration seal for each of these licenses, even if they are all maintained by one specific person.
