As a Professional Engineer licensed in Florida, you are required to keep your contact information up to date. Failing to do so puts you at risk of missing critical notices about law or rule changes, approaching deadlines, and other official communications from the Board.
The Florida Board of Professional Engineers receives numerous bounced emails each time we send out license renewal reminders and quarterly newsletters, as well as returned mail from reminder letters or wall certificates.
State law requires that you report any changes — such as name, mailing address, email address, telephone number, or the name of the Professional Engineer in responsible charge for your firm — within 30 days.
Keeping your records current also ensures proper delivery of licensure correspondence and uninterrupted Board service. Since FBPE frequently delivers updates electronically, providing your most current email address is especially important.
In addition, if you have unsubscribed from FBPE emails sent through Constant Contact, you will not receive important reminders, including licensure renewal notices. To reauthorize FBPE to contact you via email, visit the FBPE Email Subscription page.
Professional Engineer licensees have two options for updating their records (please do not do both):
- Online via DBPR’s portal: Log in to your account at myfloridalicense.com and click on My Account at the top right corner of the page. If you experience issues such as “this account is linked to another email” or requests for an activation code, call FBPE at (850) 521-0500 and select the option to speak with someone in FBPE’s Licensure department.
- Through FBPE directly: Use the Change Contact Information form located in the Already Licensed section of our website. This allows you to submit updates to your mailing address, phone number, or email address.
If you experience problems with either method, email board@fbpe.org with your request. Be sure to include your full name, license number, and both old and new contact details.
If you need to change your name, you must also submit a copy of a marriage certificate, divorce decree, or court order along with the Order Form for Duplicate Licenses and Certificates. The order form can be found on the Other Forms page under Already Licensed. There is no fee for a name change; however, a fee applies if you wish to order a duplicate wall certificate.
For questions or assistance, contact FBPE at (850) 521-0500. By keeping your records up to date, you meet your professional responsibility and avoid disruptions in your licensure.
