Who is permitted to attach the stamp or seal to documents?

The correct answer is that a professional technologist of engineering or geology is permitted to attach the stamp or seal to documents. This aligns with the regulations and standards set forth by the Association of Science and Engineering Technology Professionals of Alberta (ASET). The endorsement or seal signifies that the document reflects the work and judgment of a qualified professional, ensuring that it meets the required industry standards.

This certification serves as a legal acknowledgment of the professional’s expertise and accountability for the content of the documents presented. Only those with the recognized professional designation have the authority to apply the seal, thus upholding the integrity of the profession and protecting public interest by ensuring that technical work is conducted by qualified individuals.

Other specified options, such as any registered member of ASET, a senior technician, or any licensed contractor, do not carry the same level of professional responsibility and are therefore not granted the authority to attach the stamp or seal. Each of these roles may contribute to the engineering or geological processes, but the professional technologist holds the specific qualification required to authenticate critical documents formally.
