Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 18, September 16, 2024
(a) Upon approval by the Board and payment of all fees, an architect shall be issued a certificate of licensure and seal press as proof of licensure and authorization to practice. The seal shall contain the name of the architect, the architect's license number and the legend "State of New Jersey Registered Architect."
(b) Each license number, certificate and seal press containing such license number issued by the Board to an architect shall remain the property of the State of New Jersey. If the Board suspends, fails to renew, or revokes a license, the licensee shall immediately return all certificates and seal presses to the Board and shall remove the license number from all advertising and anything else on which the license number is displayed or otherwise communicated.
(c) The Board shall issue a replacement certificate or replacement seal press to an architect upon payment of the replacement certificate fee or replacement seal press fee, whichever is appropriate, as set forth in 13:27-4.11 and receipt by the Board of an affidavit or certified statement attesting that the original was either lost, destroyed, mutilated or is otherwise no longer in the custody of and cannot be recovered by the licensee. The Board shall replace a damaged seal press upon a licensee's request and submission of the damaged seal press along with the replacement seal press fee set forth in 13:27-4.11.
(d) The Board shall issue a duplicate seal press to an architect upon an architect's request for a duplicate seal press and payment of the duplicate seal press fee as set forth in 13:27-4.11.
(e) Failure to return a certificate of licensure or a seal press which has been rendered invalid shall subject the individual to such penalties as provided by law and may be grounds for the Board to refuse to reinstate a license.
(f) Upon approval by the Board, the family of a deceased architect may retain an architect's seal press as a memento. The family shall be responsible for the safekeeping of the seal press to prevent its use in the illegal practice of architecture.
