Certificates. Certificates of registration are issued to each
Registrant on forms adopted by the Board. Certificates must be displayed by
Registrants in their place of business (3-28-23)
02.
Seals. The Board has adopted
a seal for use by each Registrant. The seal may be a rubber stamp, crimp, or
electronically generated image. Whenever the seal is applied, the Registrant's
signature and date are also included. If the signature is handwritten, it will
be adjacent to or across the seal. No further words or wording are required. A
facsimile signature generated by any method will not be acceptable unless
accompanied by a digital signature. (See "Appendix A" at end of this Chapter.)
(3-28-23)
a. The seal, signature, and date
must be placed on all final specifications, reports, information, and
calculations, whenever presented. Any such document that is not final and does
not contain a seal, signature, and date will be clearly marked as
"Preliminary," "Draft," "Not for Construction," or with similar words to
distinguish the document from a final document. (3-28-23)
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 thereon 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. Copies of
electronically produced documents, listed in Paragraph 100.06.b. of these
rules, distributed for informational uses such as for bidding purposes or
working copies, may be issued with the Registrant's seal and a notice that the
original document is on file with the Registrant's signature and date. The
words "Original Signed By:" and "Date Original Signed:" are placed adjacent to
or across the seal on the electronic original. The storage location of the
original document must also be provided. Only the title page of reports,
specifications, and like documents need bear the seal, signature, and date of
the Registrant. (3-28-23)
c. The
seal and signature may be used by the Registrant only when the work being
stamped was under the Registrant's responsible charge. Upon sealing, the
Registrant takes lull professional responsibility for that work. After-the-fact
ratification by the sealing of documents relating to work that was not
performed by the Registrant but by an unregistered subordinate or other
unregistered individual and without thorough technical review throughout the
project by the sealing Registrant is prohibited. (3-28-23)
d. In the event a Registrant in responsible
charge of a project leaves employment, is transferred, is promoted, becomes
incapacitated, dies, or is otherwise 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 in
conformance with Section
54-2815, Idaho Code.

03.
Address Change. Each Applicant and Registrant must notify the
Board within sixty (60) days of any and all changes of address, giving both old
and new address. (3-28-23)
