				shall be of the design shown below, or an electronic image of the same design.
				The seal consists of concentric circles with the diameter of the outer circle
				being one and three quarter (1.75) inches and the diameter of the inner circle
				being one and one quarter (1.25) inches. The upper portion between the two
				circles shall bear the phrase: "PROFESSIONAL GEOLOGIST". At the bottom of the
				annular space between the two circles shall appear the inscription "WYOMING".

				above the outline of a bucking horse of the size, shape, and orientation shown.
				All new seals shall display a licensee's number preceded by the capital letters
				"PG" followed by a short dash (example: PG-0000). A license number without the
				"PG-" is also acceptable for seals issued prior to January 1, 2020. The
				assigned license number shall be centered in the inner area of the seal in the
				space occupied by the word "NUMBER" and the size of the numbers shall not be
				larger than the letters in "NAME". The words and parentheses "(NUMBER)" and
				"(NAME)" shall not appear on the seal. The seal shall not include the word
				"DATE".

(b) After the Board notifies an applicant for
				licensure that all requirements are satisfied, the applicant shall obtain and
				purchase a seal of the design stipulated in subsection (a) of this section of
				the rules in order to complete his licensure. The Board or its designee(s) will
				provide a list of vendors who can manufacture and provide seals.
(c) Within ninety (90) calendar days from the
				date of notification of licensure, the applicant shall submit, on a form
				provided by the Board, an impression or stamp of the seal he has obtained,
				superimposed over an original signature. Failure to provide this impression or
				stamp is a violation of Wyoming Statute §
									
										33-41-115(b). Upon approval of
				the seal impression or stamp, a licensee will be sent a license. If the Board
				disapproves the applicant's seal, the Board shall require the applicant to
				obtain and purchase another seal that meets the Board's stated specifications.
				Prior to sealing any work, a licensee shall have his seal approved by the
				Board.
(d) The licensee's valid
				seal shall appear on the cover page of all original geologic reports or other
				geologic documents in volume form as well as on each and every sheet of unbound
				geologic drawings, cross sections, or maps prepared by or under the responsible
				charge or direct supervision of the licensee, or reviewed in a thorough and
				technical manner by the licensee, whenever these documents are relevant to
				public welfare or the safeguard of life, health, property and the environment,
				pursuant to Wyoming Statute §
									
										33-41-102(a)(viii). The licensee's seal
				shall be superimposed over his signature and the date signed.
(e) Original work in an electronic format
				with a computer generated seal may be submitted in digital format or
				transmitted via electronic mail (e-mail) as follows:
(i) Work shall be certified and dated by the
				licensee using the following text block or similar wording: The seal appearing
				on this document was authorized by J. Doe, PG-1111 on (date);
(ii) Work shall have an affixed electronic
				signature and date which is a digital authentication that shall carry the same
				weight, authority, and effect as an original signature and date. The electronic
				signature and date shall be: unique to the licensee using it; verifiable; under
				the sole control of the licensee affixing it; and linked to a document in such
				a manner that the data in the document can be verified as being unaltered since
				the time that the digital signature was affixed; or
(iii) A scanned image or other reproduction
				of an original signature and date may be used in lieu of an original signature
				or digital signature if accompanied by the date of the signature.
