Surveying is a skill that only comes to those who put in lots of hours. On top of that, you need a certain amount of equipment and, if you wish to go into business for yourself, you’re going to need specific licenses too. However, don’t forget your Pennsylvania land surveyor seal either. It doesn’t matter how much work you put into it, without this important addition to your plans, you’ll soon find yourself steeped in frustrations and even financial problems.
The Dimensions of the Pennsylvania Land Surveyor Seal
Although it may seem trivial, the dimensions of the Pennsylvania land surveyor seal are probably the most important thing about it. If it’s too big or too small, it’s going to cause issues and, to the experienced eye, it will be very noticeable that something isn’t quite right.
The dimensions for the Pennsylvania land surveyor seal should be 1-3/4" in diameter. This also applies to using a facsimile of the seal, which is also permitted.
Imagery on the Pennsylvania Land Surveyor Seal
Next, let’s take a look at what should actually appear on the Pennsylvania land surveyor seal. The outer perimeter should appear with a rope border. There is also an inner circle on the seal as well. Between these two circles, you should read, “Commonwealth of” across the top and “Pennsylvania” down below.
The inner circle is actually two that form an inner “seal” of sorts. It is partially obstructed by a polygon that reads, “Registered Professional Land” at the top and “Surveyor” at the bottom followed by your license number with the prefix, “No.”
Across the polygon on the Pennsylvania land surveyor seal, your name should show just as you put it down on your license.
As mentioned above, you can use the Pennsylvania land surveyor seal via an embosser, a rubber stamp or as a computer-generated facsimile. While that may alter the dimensions to some degree, you’ll still want to make sure the above is accurate.
