Are You Keeping Your Licensure Records Updated?
To keep you updated on licensure, renewals, and other important information, you — both Professional Engineers and Certificate of Authorization holders — need to keep FBPE updated with your latest contact information.
Special Recognition: Congratulations, Examinees
FBPE applauds all of the candidates who successfully passed their engineering exams. We wish them much success as they move toward the next step in their engineering careers!
Unlicensed Activity Affects Everyone
FBPE receives cases involving firms practicing without a Certificate of Authorization, individuals using the protected title of Professional Engineer (PE) or any variation thereof, and individuals practicing without a PE license. In most cases, the violations occur due to a lack of knowledge of the laws and rules associated with the practice of engineering by offenders, as well as the public.
FBPE Licensees Must Report Criminal Convictions
All FBPE licensees are required to report in writing to the Board within 30 days after the licensee is convicted or found guilty of, or entered a plea of nolo contendere or guilty to, regardless of adjudication, a crime in any jurisdiction. Failure to timely report will result in disciplinary action being taken against the licensee.
