CFM® STAMP USAGE GUIDELINES

I. CFM Stamps must be obtained from ASFPM and will meet the stamp
specifications(design, size and content) approved by the Certification Board of
Regents (CBOR). This stamp will show the certification holder’s name,
certification number, and the title “Certified Floodplain Manager” with space for
signature.

II. The CFM stamp shall only be used in the following situations:

a. to document a floodplain action within an individual area of expertise such
as the issuance or denial of a floodplain development permit,
b. a FEMA Elevation Certification Section G, or
c. correspondence, plans, or reports that document a floodplain management
action.

The certification holder’s stamp signature and certification number may be placed
on the document provided the CFM prepared or directed and controlled the
preparation of the written materials.

III. The CFM stamp may not be used in any unprofessional, derogatory, or frivolous
manner which discredits the individual, ASFPM, or an Accredited State.

IV. No person may use or place a stamp on a document if the certification of the
CFM has expired, been suspended, or has been revoked.

V. The affixing or imprinting of the CFM stamp on a document shall not infer or
imply that ASFPM or the Accredited State approves or endorses the floodplain
management action. ASFPM and the Accredited States shall not be liable for
any direct, indirect, consequential, special, or other damages resulting from any
stamped floodplain management action.
