Approved seal format is 1-3/4 inches in diameter, known as Size #1.
The seal must include the indication: State of Maine
The seal must include the licensee's name, license number and “Licensed Professional Engineer.”
Lettering should be in ALL CAPS, so the seal remains clear even after image transfer.
The license number may be preceded by any designation likely to indicate to an observer that it is the license number (e.g. PE00000, License Number 00000, Lic. 00000, No. 00000, #00000, etc.). However, since license numbers are the only numbers on the seal, in the interest of space and legibility, it is not required that any designation be present with the license number.
The seal can be a physical or "wet" seal or an electronically applied seal.
“The Licensee’s signature and the date must accompany the seal. Effective signature may be an electronic signature as defined by 10 M.R.S.A. Section 9402.” 02-322 C.M.R. Ch. 2(9)(3).
PLEASE NOTE: 02-322 C.M.R. Ch. 2(9) enumerates complete sealing requirements for engineering documents.
