Under
No. 7 Certification (2011 standards) is a blue wet ink signature required? Is
digital being accepted with recorded "Digital Certificate".
Also a seal appears to be required. However, Minnesota, from what little
I can find, appears vague on the seal requirement. Are any of these
questions decided per state? Thank you.
Answer:
Some
states require a 'wet' signature; ALTA/ACSM does not. There is at least one
state (NY) where the law says a survey is not valid unless there is an original
signature (in some color of ink, as I recall). ALTA/ACSM do not require an
original signature.
I
was unaware that any state was vague on use of a seal, but ALTA/ACSM expects
one. How it is applied is, again, a function of state law and/or surveyor
preference.
The
manner and nature of digital delivery is also controlled by state law and/or
the individual surveyor's preference. All ALTA/ACSM is saying is that digital
delivery of a Land Title Survey is fine with ALTA and NSPS. The same would go
with a digital signature - whatever state law proscribes, and the surveyor is
comfortable with.
