What are the requirements for displaying the registered name to the public?
A registered professional designation must be displayed to the general public in its entirety, EXACTLY AS IT IS REGISTERED. This means that ALL signage visible to the general public as well as all business cards, bills, advertisements, letterhead, and any other manner of representing oneself to the public must contain the entire professional designation. So for example, if a professional designation is registered as “ABC Eyecare, Dr. John Smith, Optometrist,” his sign must have all of the title “ABC Eyecare, Dr. John Smith, Optometrist” together on the sign so as to be absolutely clear to the public that his is an optometric practice.
