License Requirements

BY EXAMINATION

To qualify to take the Professional Engineering Examination in Michigan an applicant must complete education and work experience requirements.

BY RECIPROCITY

To qualify for a professional engineers license by reciprocity the applicant must complete education, work experience and examination requirements as outlined in the Occupational Code and Administrative Rules for the Board of Professional Engineers.

All applicants will be reviewed using the requirements that were in effect in Michigan at the time of the applicants original licensure in their base state.

FIRMS OFFERING PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING SERVICES

While Michigan only licenses individuals to practice professional engineering, Section 2010 of the Occupational Code requires that if a firm contracts to provide professional engineering services in Michigan, at least two-thirds of the principals of the firm need to be licensed in Michigan.

If the firm will include principals who are not licensed, each of those unlicensed principals must file for approval with the board office.

Forms may be obtained from this site, requested in writing, or by telephone.
