The Iowa Interior Design Examining Board was created as a Title Act in 2006. A person shall not use the title of registered interior designer or any title or device indicating or representing in any manner that the person is a registered interior designer or is practicing as a registered interior designer unless the person is a registered interior designer. Here we have resources, information about applications, and disciplinary action for interior designers.

Seal and Certificate of Responsibility
The Board is currently working on rules regarding the registered interior design stamp/seal under Iowa Code 544C.14.
The Board has tentatively approved a seal design, which should include
- an outside circle with a diameter of approximately 1 3/4 inches.
- the name of the registered interior designer and the word "Registered Interior Designer"
the Iowa registration number and the word "Iowa".
The information block should look similar to:
| SEAL | I hereby certify that the portion of this technical submission described below was prepared by me or under my direct supervision and responsible charge. I am a duly registered interior designer under the law of the state of Iowa. ___________________________________________________ Printed or typed name: ____________________________ Page or sheets covered by this seal: _________________ |
|---|
The Board will be promulgating rules this fall with the official determination on the seal and information block. Once the rules are finalized, they will be posted here.
