Before You Begin
- Please read the License Renewal page, which includes important information about status changes.

When creating your answer to the Secret Question, we recommend that you make it a memorable, one-word answer, and that you write it down for safekeeping.
Linking Your License
You must link your PE license to your online account in order to renew either.
Updating Your Contact Information
Licensees are required to keep their contact information up-to-date by Section 455.275, Florida Statutes. Confirm that your current mailing address, telephone number, and email address are correct. Please be aware that the email address listed in this section may not be the email address associated with your myfloridalicense.com account and therefore not the email address where your license will be sent.
On the Main Menu page, select your license linked to your account to update your contact information.
Confirming Laws and Rules Course
Confirm that your Florida Laws and Rules course has been reported. It should appear in the Continuing Education Requirements section of your licensure record. Your license will not renew until it has been reported by your continuing education provider. If is missing, reach out to your provider, confirm that they have your name and Florida PE number as it appears in your licensure record, and ask them to report it to the Department of Business and Professional Regulation.

Paying Your Renewal Fees

Printing Your License
Professional Engineer licenses are no longer being mailed. After you have successfully renewed your license and submitted payment, a PDF of your new license will be automatically generated and emailed within 30 minutes to the address associated with your myfloridalicense.com account.
Special Inspector designations are renewed when your PE is renewed, but are not currently showing up on PE licenses. FBPE is working with the Department of Business and Professional Regulation to get the designation added to the new license format. Once the designations are added, you will be able to request a new printable license.
Should you need a new license sent to you, follow these steps.
Return to the License Menu, then click the “Print License Certificate” link.
If your PE license is current but inactive, you will not be able to print your license.
