Signatures and certifications on survey plans are reserved for the professional who has authority to attest the accuracy of geodetic work—the accredited geodetic engineer. Survey plans record precise measurements, boundaries, and monument locations, and they must be checked against official standards and legal descriptions. Only a geodetic engineer who is licensed and accredited to practice geodetic surveying has the training to perform field measurements, computations, and boundary determinations, and to attest that the plan faithfully represents reality and complies with regulations. This ensures the document can be relied upon for title, subdivision, and other legal purposes. A landowner or local government unit cannot certify technical survey accuracy, and a licensed engineer who is not accredited in geodetic surveying does not have the authority to sign and certify survey plans.
