Licensure renewal begins in November for Professional Engineers licensed in Florida. Follow this checklist to make sure your renewal goes smoothly and you avoid last-minute delays.
✓ Complete & report your CE
You must have completed 18 hours of continuing education by the time the upcoming licensure renewal period closes, at midnight Feb. 28, 2025. And, beginning with this renewal period, you must report your CE courses using the free NCEES CPC Tracking system. (See “CE Reporting Now Mandatory for All PEs.”)
Keep in mind that of those 18 hours, one hour must relate to the Florida laws and rules of Professional Engineers from a Board-approved provider, and one hour must relate to professional ethics. Four hours must relate to area of practice. The remaining 12 hours may be related to any topic pertinent to the practice of engineering.
Because too many PEs were failing the random CE audits, reporting of continuing education completions is now mandatory for all PEs licensed in Florida.
See our step-by-step instructions on using NCEES CPC Tracking for report your continuing education.
Rember that you must retain certificates for continuing-education courses for at least two renewal periods, or four years.
✓ Your password
Log into your account at the Department of Business and Professional Regulation’s website, myfloridalicense.com, and confirm that your PE license is linked to your account. If it isn’t, follow the instructions on our PE License Renewal: Step-by-Step page.
You will need access to your account to renew your PE license, as well as to receive a printable copy of your license. If you discover that you have misplaced your password or that your account or license is associated with a different email address, contact the Board at (850) 521-0500 for assistance.
✓ Your contact information
While you are logged into your account, check that your contact information is up to date.
Florida statutes require that PEs licensed in the state keep their contact information up to date with the Board. This includes your email address and mailing address. (See Section 455.275(1), Florida Statutes.)
You can update your contact information in the licensure portal by following these steps. Or, you can fill out the Change Contact Information form on our website.
✓ Board emails
If you haven’t been receiving emails from FBPE, including the quarterly Connection newsletter, you may have unsubscribed to all FBPE emails. That means you won’t receive notifications and reminders regarding your PE license renewal. Use our Resubscribe to FBPE Emails page to ensure that you receive important information regarding your Florida PE license. (If you’re uncertain, resubscribing won’t hurt.)
Also, check your spam filter for FBPE emails with a return address that ends with “@fbpe.org”. Emails sent by the Board will have only that domain address.
✓ Your PE license status
Check the status of your PE license at myfloridalicense.com.
If your license is delinquent, you must pay both the renewal fee from the previous renewal period and a delinquent fee before you can renew your license for 2025-27.
If it is null and void, you will need to have your license reinstated. Please see the Other Forms page on our website.
