A licensee who does not renew by April 30 may renew within 30 days of expiration by submitting the renewal application plus renewal and late fees; the license remains valid during that 30-day window. Failure to renew within 30 days: the license is suspended without a hearing. Practicing professional engineering with a suspended license is unauthorized practice (N.J.A.C. 13:40-2.8).Verify with board

How compliance is checked

No audit process appears in the available data. Keep your certificates regardless — boards can request proof of completion at renewal or during an investigation.
