Not that I don't trust insurance companies or anything.. But I can foresee that in the event of a claim the insurance company will state that since you did not use the stamp nor the number it was a personal opinion; you were not acting in a capacity of a licensed professional; your professional liability policy will not cover the problem.

But, not all insurance companies are evil. I think.

My guess is that not using one's seal increases one's liability exposure because it can be construed as knowing one did not use the proper standard of care.

In California and I believe most states a professional engineer needs to stamp and sign all engineering reports. The report on the septic tank appears to be an engineering report thus the lack of a stamp and signature would constitute a violation of state licensing law.
