I'm sure you could get someone to rubberstamp it. But, in practice, this is more difficult than you may think. If you are a licensed civil engineer and I show up to your office and ask you rubberstamp my bridge design, most would not because that creates a large legal liability for them. By stamping it, you are saying it meets the necessary design standards. If something goes wrong, the regulators are going to come after the person who certifies it for use.
That is also why it gives engineers more leverage. If a manager needs some to certify it, that licensed engineer has much more ability to push back on the design. The liability the stamp conveys is also why they tend to get paid more than unlicensed counterparts.
