Use of Seal
A facsimile of a registrant's seal shall be affixed to final geology products in the course of the public practice of geology.
(1) A Registered Geologist shall use a seal bearing the Registered Geologist's name, certificate number, and registration title, as shown in Exhibit 1 of this rule. The Registered Geologist seal must be at least 1.5 inches in diameter from point to point. A Registered Geologist may use an electronic seal that meets these requirements.
(2) A Certified Engineering Geologist shall use a seal bearing the Certified Engineering Geologist's name, certificate number, and registration title, as shown in Exhibit 2 of this rule. The Certified Engineering Geologist seal must be at least 1.5 inches in diameter from point to point. A Certified Engineering Geologist may use an electronic seal that meets these requirements.
(3) Draft geology or specialty geology products or documents clearly marked as draft do not require a geologist's seal.
(4) If a bound report is sealed by the registrant in responsible charge of the work, geology figures, maps, plates, logs, and products bound within that final report or document do not need to be individually sealed. A geology product within that report that is not prepared by the registrant responsible for that bound report shall be individually sealed by the registrant who prepared that geology product.
(5) Unbound final geology products, including boring logs, shall be individually sealed, signed, and dated.
(6) Any registrant who seals and signs a final version of a geology product takes full responsibility for the geology content of that product.

Required Application Information
(1) The Board will not issue or renew any registration or specialty certification unless an applicant provides his or her Social Security Number on the application or renewal form. The applicant need not provide the Social Security Number on the application for renewal if the applicant's Social Security Number previously has been provided to the agency and is in the record.
(2) If an applicant has not been issued a Social Security Number by the United States Social Security Administration, the Board will accept a written statement from the applicant to fulfill the requirements of OAR 809-050-0040(1). The applicant may, but is not required to, submit the written statement on a form provided by the Board. Any written statement submitted must:
(a) Be signed by the applicant;
(b) Attest to the fact that no Social Security Number has been issued to the applicant by the United States Social Security Administration;
(c) Assert that the information provided about the Social Security Number is true and correct; and
(d) Acknowledge that knowingly supplying false information under this section is as crime.
(3) Applicants must provide Social Security Numbers as required by ORS 25.785, 305.385, and 42 USC ¦ 666(a)(13) for child support enforcement purposes and Department of Revenue purposes. Failure to provide the appropriate Social Security Number or written statement attesting to the lack of an appropriate Social Security Number will be a basis for refusal to register or renew an applicant. The Board will maintain a record of the filed Social Security Number.
