Append-only.
Entries lock the moment you save them. A correction appends as a new, linked entry instead of overwriting the original — the record shows what changed and when, not just the current state.
Yours, not your employer's.
The register follows you through a job change. It exists for exactly the moment you need a record of what you sealed and can't ask a former employer for it.
Exportable evidence.
PDF and CSV exports, chain-verified so an export can state whether the record has been altered since it was written — ready if you're ever asked what you did and when.
Already keeping your own log?
Bring it with you. Once a license enters the register, you have 90 days to import past sealings by CSV — paste your records, map the columns, confirm.
No formal log to date?
No problem. Enter your past sealings by hand inside that same 90-day window — one row each, no spreadsheet to build first. Whether your records are a paper desk file or your own recollection, they belong in the register.
It is already happening.
Not our claim — the licensing boards'. Published notices about seals being misused, and what they ask licensees to do about it.
- Nebraska Board of Engineers and ArchitectsBoard Sees Increase in Fraudulent Seal Use
The board reports licensees' seals being used without permission, and fake seals appearing on technical documents, largely through online freelance marketplaces. Its advice to licensees includes monitoring where your seal is used and reporting misuse promptly — both of which assume you can say what you did seal.
- Nebraska Board of Engineers and ArchitectsIndividual License Numbers Removed from Licensee Lookup
The board pulled individual license numbers from its public lookup because the numbers were being used to forge seals. When a regulator restricts its own public register to slow forgery, the case for keeping your own is not hypothetical.
Each of these asks the same thing of a licensee: know where your seal has been used, and be able to show it. That is the whole job of a register.
Made by a professional, for professionals.
Standwright is built by a practicing licensed professional engineer — someone who seals work and carries what comes with it. It exists because that record was worth keeping, and nothing kept it the way it needed to be kept.
The first register on this system is the one it was built for, and it is a real one: the same entries, the same locking, the same exports you would get. Nothing here is offered to you that is not already in use.
Your seal is your responsibility. This is your record.
