The purpose of the sea! is to assist in identification of the professional landscape architect responsible for the work performed under the requirements of the PLA Act and PLA Rules.
4.1.1 The seal used by a professional landscape architect must be legible, whether an embossing, computer generated, or other type of seal. In the absence of legibility, the seal is invalid.

4.1.3 The responsible professional landscape architect will identify all work that they have prepared, as well as all work prepared under their direct supervision, by applying their seal to each sheet of the original drawings.
4.1.4 The responsible professional landscape architect will sea! all technical submissions as follows: On each design and each drawing; on the cover and index pages identifying each set of specifications; and on the cover page. Two or more professional landscape architects may affix their signatures and seals to a sheet provided it is designated by a note under the seal the specific subject matter for which each is responsible.
4.1.5 The seal appearing on any technical submission is prima facie evidence that said submission was prepared by or under the direct supervision of the professional landscape architect sealing the submission.
4.1.6 Documents clearly marked as "Draft" prepared for preliminary submission and review do not require the professional's seal, signature, and date, including documents prepared for a client or governmental agency, unless otherwise required by the entity.
4.1.7 Professional landscape architects are responsible for providing adequate security over their seal and signature wherever it appears, regardless of whether the seal and signature is produced electronically or by other means.
