In order to become registered in other states, I just completed my registration with NCEES, the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying. NCEES is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing professional licensure for engineers and surveyors. Among other functions, it is a national clearinghouse that maintains records of engineers, to simplify and facilitate registration in other states.
It was an arduous process, complicated by my having 3 college degrees, having PE licenses in 4 states, passing the PE exam in two different states, and being so old. In 30 years, my college names have changed, the EIT and PE exams are called by other names, and my former bosses are dead or retired, making it difficult to verify work experience.
Still, this NCEES should help to simplify the application process for PE registration in other states. Thank goodness it's done. The next step is to get registered in Montana, New York and Virginia, where we have clients eagerly awaiting our engineering services.
