I recently passed the PE(Civil) April'08 Exam. I would like to know which Seal/Stamp is better? Rubber or Embossed? Is it better to have the exp. date on it?
I personally ordered the rubber stamp but different states have different requirements. La allows an 1 5/8" or 2" rubber or embossed. I've only been working here 5 years, but I've yet to see a set of plans stamped by an embossed stamp.I recently passed the PE(Civil) April'08 Exam. I would like to know which Seal/Stamp is better?

thanks for info.I personally ordered the rubber stamp but different states have different requirements. La allows an 1 5/8" or 2" rubber or embossed. I've only been working here 5 years, but I've yet to see a set of plans stamped by an embossed stamp.
thanks for information.Really depends on the state like Sehad mentioned. Some states are really picky, where others could care less. I wouldn't get the expiration date in the stamp unless required otherwise you would have to buy a new stamp every renewal period. Rubber stamp vs embosser is also probably state specific, if not personal preference. From my experience getting reports that have been embossed, they don't show up in photocopies which can cause problems.

Isnt the requirement of the expiration date set by the state? California requires it (at least they did very recently- havent seen one for a year or two) and Texas wont allow it (it must look exactly like the one they publish). Anyone else have the option? Id rather have it on there- then if i lose it no one canuse it after 1 year or so (or i guess they could just order a new one- i wish theyd check that...).I haven't passed yet...so take what I say with a grain of salt
Rubber vs. Embossed: I have no real clue as everyone I've worked with uses a rubber stamp.
Exp. date vs. no exp. date: It depends on how often you will have to physically stamp drawings...I know people who will stamp 100+ sheets at a time a few times a week...I'm sure that one less step makes a difference. If you have an electronic stamp and only physically stamp from time to time...then no exp. date makes sense.
I believe Georgia requires the date to be written in by hand when you sign.Isnt the requirement of the expiration date set by the state?

Same for NC. There's no date on the stamp itself. You just sign and date below when sealing prints.I believe Georgia requires the date to be written in by hand when you sign.
In California it's up to you. If it's not on there you have to write it on the doc.Isnt the requirement of the expiration date set by the state?
