# LEED Registration

LEED-registered projects are pursuing LEED certification. LEED-registered projects cannot use the LEED certification marks or the LEED program logo[\[3\]](https://support.usgbc.org/hc/en-us/articles/11941118063891-USGBC-Trademark-Policy-and-Branding-Guidelines#three). Registered projects may display the [LEED credit category icons](https://www.usgbc.org/resources/leed-credit-category-icons) on educational on-site building signage.
