Are digital Biomedical Engineer stamps legal in Maryland?
Maryland allows licensed professionals to digitally seal documents using a cryptographically authenticated digital signature. The Maryland State Board for Professional Engineers requires that digital signatures be unique to the licensee, independently verifiable, and linked to the sealed document so that any later alteration invalidates the signature.
The Short Version
Biomedicals in Maryland can legally seal documents with a digital seal issued to their active license. The Maryland State Board for Professional Engineers accepts digital seals under the federal ESIGN Act and Maryland’s Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. EngineeringID provides a cryptographically signed, verifiable Biomedical Engineer seal that matches the elements required by the board and works on any PDF workflow.
Legal Standing
Digital seals are legally recognized in Maryland.
Digital professional seals have equal legal standing to traditional ink stamps under these overlapping frameworks:
- Federal law: Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (ESIGN Act)
- State law: Maryland’s Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA)
- Industry standards: ASCE, NSPE, and profession-specific bodies recognize digital seals
- Government acceptance: Maryland agencies, courts, and building departments accept digitally sealed documents
Why digital seals are defensible:
- They provide cryptographic proof of authorship that cannot be forged
- They create an immutable record of when and by whom a document was sealed
- They comply with federal and state electronic-transaction laws
- They are objectively harder to forge and easier to verify than ink stamps
Edge cases: A small number of local agencies retain legacy requirements for ink stamps. If you encounter resistance, contact our support team - we have template language and precedent citations that have resolved these disputes in nearly every case.
What's Distinctive Here
Licensing Requirements
To seal documents in Maryland, you must hold an active Biomedical Engineer license issued by the Maryland State Board for Professional Engineers.
License eligibility:
- Active, current Biomedical Engineer license with the Maryland State Board for Professional Engineers
- No restrictions, suspensions, or disciplinary actions on the license
- Continuing education: Maryland requires 24 PDH per 2 years to keep the license current
- Government-issued identification that matches the license record
Maryland licensure requirements: ABET-accredited engineering degree, 4 years experience, FE and PE exams.
Your Biomedical Engineer license already represents your qualification to seal documents. No additional examinations or certifications are required beyond your initial licensure and any mandatory CE required by Maryland.

What Your Seal Must Show
The Maryland State Board for Professional Engineers publishes specific rules for what a Biomedical Engineer seal must contain. When you seal a document you take responsible charge of it — you certify that the work was prepared by you or under your direct supervision and that it conforms to the applicable codes and standards. EngineeringID generates seals that match the board’s format requirements, but it is your responsibility as the sealing professional to confirm compliance for your specific document type.
Required elements for a Maryland Biomedical Engineer seal:
- Full legal name
- License number
- Professional Engineer
- State of Maryland
Maryland seal format: Design: Circular seal · Size: 1.5 to 2 inches
Statutory authority: Md. Code Ann., Bus. Occ. & Prof. § 14-403
Documents that commonly require a sealed Biomedical Engineer submission in Maryland:
- Construction drawings and specifications
- Structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) designs
- Engineering reports and feasibility studies
- Permit applications submitted to Maryland building departments
- Any document where a licensed professional takes responsibility for technical content
Continuing Education
Maryland requires 24 PDH per 2 years of continuing education for Biomedical Engineers. Complete it before your renewal date — the board verifies CE at renewal and generally will not accept credits earned for a lapsed cycle.
- Keep certificates of completion; Maryland can audit your CE records after renewal.
- Courses must usually relate to your area of practice — confirm provider approval first.
- Carrying CE over from a previous cycle is typically not allowed.
Your digital seal remains valid as long as the license stays active, so completing CE on time keeps both your license and your sealing privileges uninterrupted.

Industry-Specific Rules
Different industries that accept sealed Biomedical Engineer documents in Maryland have their own conventions on top of the state board’s rules.
- Building departments and permitting - expect a sealed cover sheet plus sealed sheets for each discipline; many jurisdictions now require digital seals for electronic plan review
- Utility and infrastructure agencies - often require sealed design documents and as-built drawings; some have specific PDF version and font-embedding requirements
- Litigation and expert testimony - require sealed opinions and reports; digital seals are increasingly preferred because the audit trail simplifies authentication during discovery
When in doubt, ask the receiving party which format they prefer. Most Maryland agencies publish submittal guidelines that list accepted seal types.
Renewing Over Time
Your seal remains valid for exactly as long as your underlying Maryland license is active and in good standing. When you renew your license with the state board, your seal is automatically renewed with no action required on your part.
License renewal basics:
- Renewal period: typically every 2 years for most Biomedical licenses
- CE requirements: Maryland requires 24 PDH per 2 years — complete it before each renewal
- Fees: paid directly to the Maryland board
- Submission: through the board’s online portal or by mail
If your license expires: Your seal becomes invalid for new documents. Previously sealed documents keep their seal as a historical record, but verification will show the license is no longer active at the current date. Renew and your seal reactivates automatically.
If your license is suspended or revoked: Your seal is invalid immediately for new work. Historical seals remain verifiable but are clearly flagged. Reinstate the license through the board’s process to restore sealing privileges.
Best practice: Set a calendar reminder 60 days before your license expires. Keep your EngineeringID email address current so renewal notifications reach you.
