- Out-of-State Licensees: PEs licensed in other states must obtain an Alaska PE license to practice engineering in Alaska and use the Alaska PE stamp on their documents.
- Stamp Ownership: The PE stamp is the property of the licensee and must be under their control. It is the licensee’s responsibility to prevent unauthorized use of their stamp.
- Stamp Usage: The PE stamp should only be used on documents that have been prepared by the licensee or under their responsible charge. Misuse of the stamp may result in disciplinary action.
