The board shall issue a license and shall provide a certificate of licensure upon payment of licensure fee as provided for in this chapter, to any applicant who, in the opinion of the board, has satisfactorily met all the requirements of this chapter. In the case of a licensed engineer, the license shall authorize the “practice of engineering.” In the case of an engineer intern, a certificate of enrollment shall be provided, and it shall state that the applicant has successfully passed the examination in fundamental engineering subjects required by the board and has been enrolled as an “engineer intern.” In the case of licensed professional surveyors, the license shall authorize the “practice of surveying.” In the case of a surveyor intern, the certificate shall state that the applicant has successfully passed the examination in fundamental surveying subjects required by the board and has been enrolled as a “surveyor intern.” Certificates shall show the full name, shall have a license or enrollment number, and shall be signed by the president and the secretary of the board under seal of the board.
The issuance of a license by this board shall be prima facie evidence that the person named therein is entitled to all the rights and privileges of a licensed professional engineer or a licensed professional surveyor while the license remains unrevoked or unexpired.
Before engaging in the practice of engineering or surveying, each licensee hereunder shall upon licensure obtain a seal of the design authorized by the board, bearing the licensee’s name and the legend “Licensed Professional Engineer” or “Licensed Professional Surveyor.” Each person licensed as a professional engineer, who is also licensed as a professional surveyor, may also obtain a seal bearing the licensee’s name and the legend “Professional Engineer and Professional Surveyor.”
Plans, specifications and reports prepared by a licensed engineer shall be sealed by the licensee, but it shall be unlawful for anyone to seal any documents after the license is expired or revoked, or while the license is suspended. It shall be unlawful for anyone other than the licensee to whom the seal has been issued to seal any document utilizing such seal.
Plats, maps and reports prepared by a licensed surveyor shall be sealed during the life of the licensee’s license, but it shall be unlawful for anyone to seal any documents with the seal after the license of the licensee named thereon has expired or been revoked or suspended. It shall be unlawful for anyone other than the licensee to whom the seal has been issued to seal any documents utilizing such seal.
