Pound Signs Used with Surveyors' Registration Numbers
Why do surveyors use a pound sign in front of their registration number (e.g., R.L.S. #4671)?

That’s not a pound sign, it’s a number sign…
As in PLS No. 36793
I hope everyone has a great day; I know I will!-

No clue, it’s pointless.

That’s the way to do it, “PLS No. 36793”

I also very much dislike when internal emails tagging me with the @ symbol preceding my email address. Get off the new Twitter, now known as X, and follow tradition.

Maybe it is a hashtag and they want you to visit their site. 😀

Do not use anything but the number with both my surveyor and engineer licenses.

It’s correctly known as an octothorpe.

Geezers it was only a few years ago I had even heard the term hashtag lol. My wife rolled her eyes. I knew it as the number and pound sign. But this site has probably been the only social media site I have actually engaged in. I do a ag forum a little. All these terms are hard to keep up with.

12345 S
12345 ES
I do like that system.
I’ve never seen PLS #12345 or PLS No 12345 that I can remember, I know I’ve never seen it stamped on a monument, that’s something I would remember.
Apologies to anyone with that actual number, it’s a really cool one.

What is ES?

LS-Land Surveyor
S-Surveyor (older version you’ll see with early numbers)
ES-Engineer and Surveyor combo

Maybe it’s not the # sign as you see it but a challenge to tic tac toe. lol.
