Section 24.04.01.100 - GENERAL PROVISIONS01.Certificates. Certificates of registration are issued to each Registrant on forms adopted by the Board. Certificates must be displayed by Registrants in their place of business02.Seals. The Board has adopted a seal for use by each Registrant. The seal may be a rubber stamp, crimp, or electronically generated image. Whenever the seal is applied, the Registrant's signature and date are also included. If the signature is handwritten, it will be adjacent to or across the seal. No further words or wording are required. A facsimile signature generated by any method will not be acceptable unless accompanied by a digital signature. (See "Appendix A" at end of this Chapter.) a. The seal, signature, and date must be placed on all final specifications, reports, information, and calculations, whenever presented. Any such document that is not final and does not contain a seal, signature, and date will be clearly marked as "Preliminary," "Draft," "Not for Construction," or with similar words to distinguish the document from a final document.b. The seal, signature, and date must be placed on all original documents. The application of the Registrant's seal, signature, and date constitutes certification that the work thereon was done by the Registrant or under the Registrant's supervision. Each plan or drawing sheet is sealed and signed by the Registrant or Registrants responsible for each sheet. In the case of a business entity, each plan or drawing sheet is sealed and signed by the Registrant or Registrants involved. The supervising professional geologist signs and seals the title or first sheet. Copies of electronically produced documents, listed in Paragraph 100.06.b. of these rules, distributed for informational uses such as for bidding purposes or working copies, may be issued with the Registrant's seal and a notice that the original document is on file with the Registrant's signature and date. The words "Original Signed By:" and "Date Original Signed:" are placed adjacent to or across the seal on the electronic original. The storage location of the original document must also be provided. Only the title page of reports, specifications, and like documents need bear the seal, signature, and date of the Registrant.c. The seal and signature may be used by the Registrant only when the work being stamped was under the Registrant's responsible charge. Upon sealing, the Registrant takes full professional responsibility for that work. After-the-fact ratification by the sealing of documents relating to work that was not performed by the Registrant but by an unregistered subordinate or other unregistered individual and without thorough technical review throughout the project by the sealing Registrant is prohibited.d. In the event a Registrant in responsible charge of a project leaves employment, is transferred, is promoted, becomes incapacitated, dies, or is otherwise not available to seal, sign, and date final documents, the duty of responsible charge for the project is accomplished by successor Registrant by becoming familiar with and reviewing, in detail, and retaining the project documents to date. Subsequent work on the project must clearly and accurately reflect the successor Registrant's responsible charge. The successor Registrant must seal, sign, and date all work product in conformance with Section 54-2815, Idaho Code.03.Address Change. Each Applicant and Registrant must notify the Board within sixty (60) days of any and all changes of address, giving both old and new address.Idaho Admin. Code r. 24.04.01.100
