Each registrant, upon registration, may obtain a seal. If the registrant obtains or uses a seal, it shall be of a design approved by the board, bearing the registrant's name, Iowa registration number, and the words "professional engineer" or "land surveyor" or both, as the case may be. A legible rubber stamp or other facsimile of the seal may be used and shall have the same effect as the use of the actual seal.
All engineering documents and land surveying documents shall be dated and shall contain the following: (1) The signature of the registrant in responsible charge; (2) a certificate that the work was done by such registrant or under the registrant's direct personal supervision; and (3) the Iowa registration number or legible seal of such registrant.
If engineering documents or land surveying documents comply with this section, reproductions thereof also comply with this section if the date, signature, certificate, and registration number thereon are legibly reproduced.
No agency of this state and no subdivision or municipal corporation of this state, nor any officer thereof, shall file for record or approve any engineering document or land surveying document which does not comply with this section.
No registrant shall place the registrant's signature or seal on any engineering document or land surveying document unless the registrant was in responsible charge of the work, except that the registrant may do so if the registrant contributed to the work and the registrant in responsible charge has signed and certified the work.
Violation of this section by a registrant shall be deemed fraud and deceit in the registrant's practice.
