New Jersey Statutes, Title: 45, PROFESSIONS AND OCCUPATIONS
Chapter 3: New Jersey State Board of Architects; membership, terms.
Section: 45:3-6: Certificate; issuance after examination; persons having certificates from other states; recording seal; use of seal without authority
If the examination of an applicant for registration shall be satisfactory to the majority of the board, a certificate shall be issued to said applicant, upon the payment of an additional fee of $25.00 to the board, authorizing him to practice the profession of architecture. Any person who shall present to the board a certificate from a similarly constituted board of another State, with such other satisfactory evidence of competency as the board in its discretion may require, where the qualifications required in such State are substantially equal to those required in this State, may be granted such certificate upon the payment to the board of a fee of $50.00; provided, however, that such individual shall not be entitled to consideration of his application while a complaint is pending in which the individual is charged with the illegal practice of architecture under section 45:3-10 of this act or while penalties imposed pursuant to section 45:3-11 of this act remain unsatisfied. Each person licensed shall cause such license to be recorded in the office of the Secretary of State. At the time of the issuance of the certificate, the board shall furnish to the applicant a seal to be used by him in the conduct of his practice, to be impressed upon plans and other papers prepared by him when necessary; where a seal has been lost by a duly licensed architect, a new one shall be issued by the board upon application therefor, accompanied by the prescribed fee, and proof to the satisfaction of the board of such loss or other good cause. The board shall require the payment of a reasonable fee for the issuance of the seal to cover the cost of the same. Any person who shall use a seal which has not been furnished to him by the board, or who shall impress same upon plans or other papers, or who shall come into possession of a seal not issued to him and fail to turn same over to the board after a demand is made therefor, or who, after the forfeiture, revocation or suspension of his license, shall fail to return a seal to the board shall be guilty of a violation of this chapter and upon conviction thereof shall pay a fine of $100.00, or upon failure to forthwith pay said fine, shall be imprisoned in the county jail for a period not exceeding 30 days.
