 | | _3372020.jpg) | Stamp Misuse on the Rise Since late 2025, APEGA has noted an increase in reports of misuse—and in some cases, fraudulent use—of licensed professionals’ stamps on work they have not taken professional responsibility for. Anyone who misuses stamps, including licensed professionals’ coworkers, or people pretending to be licensed professionals, contravenes the Engineering and Geoscience Professions Act and puts Albertans at risk.
Learn how to properly sign, protect, and prevent misuse of your stamp to keep your identity and Albertans safe. | | BRANCH EVENTS
