Stamp Language
The examples below illustrate how the required certification language and signature can be presented for inclusion on documents. The size of the text and spacing of lines may be varied to suit individual needs. Licensees may choose to create a rubber stamp/seal or simply print the language directly on documents and then sign. A seal is not required. The statutes and rules of the Board do not address or prohibit the use of a seal in addition to the required certification language.
