Florida’s biennial renewal period for Professional Engineers begins in early November 2026, just seven months away. Before the rush begins, take a few minutes now to make sure your licensure record, email, and continuing-education records are ready.
Quick Checklist
- Log in to your myfloridalicense.com account.
- Confirm that your email address, mailing address, and phone number are up to date.
- Make sure you are still receiving FBPE emails.
- Complete and report your continuing education before Feb. 28, 2027.
- Before renewing, confirm that your Florida Laws and Rules course appears in your licensure record.
FBPE receives bounced emails for renewal reminders and quarterly newsletters. That means some Professional Engineers may miss renewal notices, deadline reminders, rule changes, and other official communications simply because the Board cannot reach them. Keeping your contact information current is not just good practice; it is required.
Why Your Contact Information Matters
Florida licensees are responsible for keeping their mailing address, email address, and phone number current with the Board, and licensees must report changes within 30 days. If you are the Professional Engineer who is a firm’s qualifying agent, and that information changes, update that record promptly as well.
At least 90 days before the expiration date shown on your license, a renewal notice will be sent to the email address associated with your myfloridalicense.com account. If that address is outdated, if Board emails are landing in spam, or you have unsubscribed to Board emails, you could miss important information related to your license. Because printable licenses are delivered electronically, an outdated email address can also create problems after renewal.
Update Your Record One Way — Not Both
- Use the DBPR portal. Log in at myfloridalicense.com, click My Account, and review the information on file. While you are there, confirm that your PE license is linked to your account and that you can still access it. If your license is not linked, use FBPE’s step-by-step renewal instructions.
- Use FBPE’s online form. Submit changes through the Change Contact Information page on FBPE’s website.
Please do not use both methods for the same update.
If you run into problems, such as “this account is linked to another email” or a request for an activation code, call FBPE at (850) 521-0500. If you need to email a change request, send it to board@fbpe.org and include your full name, license number, and both your old and new contact details.
If you need to change your name, submit the required legal documentation with the Duplicate Certificate/Name Change form. There is no fee for a name change, though a fee applies if you want a duplicate wall certificate.
Make Sure FBPE Emails Can Still Reach You
If you have unsubscribed from FBPE emails sent through Constant Contact, you will not receive important notices, including renewal reminders. If you are unsure whether you opted out, use the Resubscribe to FBPE Emails form. It is also smart to check your spam or junk folder and safelist emails from the @fbpe.org domain.
Get Your Continuing Education in Order Now
For the renewal cycle running from March 1, 2025, through Feb. 28, 2027, Florida PEs must complete 18 hours of continuing education and report those hours through the free NCEES CPC Tracking system. Only courses taken on or after March 1, 2025, count toward this renewal cycle. You do not need an NCEES Record to report your CE; a basic NCEES account with CPC Tracking is enough.
Do not wait until February to organize your CE records. Upload your documentation as you complete courses. Also, remember, you must keep your certificates, receipts, vouchers, or similar records for four years.
One Last Check Before You Renew
Before you begin the renewal steps, confirm that your Florida Laws and Rules course has been reported by your provider and appears in your record at myfloridalicense.com. If it does not appear there, contact your provider before renewing.
Do not expect your other CE courses to appear in your DBPR licensure record. Those hours are reported by you through CPC Tracking. The Florida Laws and Rules course is the only continuing-education course you should see in your online license record.
A little preparation now can help you avoid a last-minute scramble when the renewal window opens in early November 2026.
