Overview

Ohio's State Board of Registration for Professional Engineers and Surveyors regulates Professional Engineers [PE], Professional Surveyors [PS], Professional Engineers and Surveyors [DUAL]; and firms [FIRM] offering professional engineering and professional surveying services in Ohio.

P.E., P.S.

Individuals with an Ohio P.E. or Ohio P.S. have an annual renewal cycle beginning January 1 and ending December 31.

NEW! In order to renew your individual P.E. or P.S. license in Ohio for 2008, you will need 15 hours of continuing education [ PDH ] by December 31, 2007. Go to our Continuing education page for information.

NEW! 2008 Ohio P.E. and P.S. renewal notices have been mailed and online renewal is an option.

Each renewal notice contains a unique user ID and password which will serve as an electronic signature and enable you to renew your license by credit card.

You will be linked to a secure electronic commerce server hosted by Skipjack Merchant Services. The credit card transactions will be processed on this secure server which is separate from the web server that hosts our website. Transactions from this secure server will be posted to the Treasurer of State. The Board will not receive any information that connects a licensee with a particular credit card number.

The credit card renewal website will guide you through the renewal process. The information that you provide for each step in the process will determine the next step.

We suggest that if you renew your license by credit card and you do not receive a reasonably quick response (a web page with an approval code), that you wait 30 minutes and see if you receive a confirmation of the transaction by email. If you do receive a confirmation, then you renewed your license successfully.

After receiving your user ID and password in the mail, click here or on the Ohio eLicense Center image to go directly to the online renewal registration page.


Firms

Firms holding an Ohio Certificate of Authorization to offer engineering or surveying services have an annual renewal cycle beginning July 1 and ending June 30.

REMINDER Ohio R.C. Chapter 4733 requires that your firm Certificate of Authorization application has an Ohio Secretary of State charter / registration number. Go to Ohio's Secretary of State website to find your charter / registration number if you don't know it.


Go to our Firms page for more information.

Address changes

It's your responsibility to keep your address current with the Board. The easiest way to update your address is to email the Board with your address change. You can also fax or mail your address update. Unfortunately, we cannot accept address changes over the telephone; we need a written or printed verification.

IMPORTANT!
A firm name change requires a new application for a Certificate of Authorization.

Reinstatement

Any individual or firm licensed and regulated by the Board with a license lapsed for more than 12 months will need to be reinstated. Check Ohio eLicense center for your current Ohio license status.

Reinstatement procedures differ. You can email your request for reinstatement or mail your request for reinstatement to the Board office.
