Honorable Ken Jacob
State Senator, District 19
Room 420-A, State Capitol Building
Jefferson City, MO 65101
Dear Senator Jacob:
You have submitted the following question to this office for response:
Can a recorder of deeds accept for recording a map, plat or
survey prepared by a registered land surveyor with anything
otherthan an engraved embosser seal that makes indentations
on the document? Specifically, does the phrase impressed
thereon, and affixed thereto, the personal seal, contained in
section 327.361, RSMo., require a raised or engraved
embossed seal; or does it merely require any process, such as
an ink stamp, which is pressed on the document?
The provisions of Chapter 327, RSMo, are enforced by the Missouri
Board for Architects, Professional Engineers, Professional Land
Surveyors and Landscape Architects. Section 327.041, RSMo Supp.
2002. Pursuant to its authority in Section 327.041.2, RSMo Supp. 2002,
the Board has promulgated regulations, including regulations on the use
of a land surveyor's seal. 4CSR 30-3.040 provides, in pertinent part:
(1) Each professional land surveyor licensed prior to January 1,
2002, at his/her own expense, shall secure a seal one and
three-quarters inches (1 3/4) in diameter of the following
design: the seal shall consist of two (2) concentric circles
between which shall appear in Roman capital letters, the words,
State of Missouri on the upper part of the seal, and either
Registered Land Surveyor or Professional Land Surveyor on
the lower part and within the inner circle shall appear the name
of the licensee, together with his/her license number preceded
