All licenses not renewed expire at midnight on June 30 of even-numbered years. Late fees apply during August and September; if the license is not renewed by September 30, reinstatement is required (back renewal fees with penalties plus at least 30 hours of CE). Practicing engineering while unlicensed can result in disciplinary action and civil penalty. The Board does not waive late penalties.Verify with board

How compliance is checked

Do not send certificates unless selected for audit; licensees must maintain records supporting claimed credits.
