The board shall issue a certificate, upon payment of the required fee, to any applicant who, in the opinion of the board, has satisfactorily met all the requirements therefor. In the case of licensed professional surveyors, the certificate shall authorize the “practice of surveying.” In the case of a surveyor intern, the certificate shall state that the applicant has successfully passed the examination in fundamental land surveying subjects required by the board and has been enrolled as a “ surveyor intern.” Certificates shall show the full name of the professional surveyor or surveyor intern, shall have a serial number and shall be signed by the president and the secretary of the board under seal of the board. The issuance of a certificate of licensure by this board shall be prima facie evidence that the person named therein is entitled to all the rights and privileges of a licensed professional surveyor, while the said certificate remains unrevoked or unexpired. Each person licensed as a professional surveyor after June 30, 1991, but prior to July 1, 2004, shall, upon licensure, obtain a seal of the design authorized by the board, bearing the licensee’s name and the legend “Registered Professional Land Surveyor.” Each person licensed as a professional land surveyor after June 30, 1991, but prior to July 1, 2004, who is also licensed as a professional engineer in accordance with Sections 73-13-1 through 73-13-45 may also obtain one (1) seal bearing the licensee’s name and the legend “Registered Professional Engineer and Professional Land Surveyor.” Any person who, before July 1, 1991, but prior to July 1, 2004, was licensed under this chapter as a land surveyor or as both a professional engineer and a land surveyor may continue to use the seal or seals that he obtained and that were authorized by the board to be used by such person before July 1, 1991. From and after July 1, 2004, each person licensed as a professional surveyor shall, upon licensure, obtain a seal of the design and authorized by the board, bearing the licensee’s name and the legend “Professional Surveyor.” From and after July 1, 2004, each person licensed as a professional surveyor, who is also licensed as a professional engineer, may also obtain a seal bearing the licensee’s name and the legend “Professional Engineer and Professional Surveyor.” Plats, maps and reports prepared by a licensee shall be stamped with the seal during the life of the licensee’s certificate, but it shall be unlawful for anyone to stamp or seal any documents with the seal after the certificate of the licensee named thereon has expired or been revoked or suspended. It shall be unlawful for anyone other than the licensee to whom the seal has been issued to stamp or seal any documents utilizing such seal.
