Wash. Admin. Code § 196-26A-040 - [Effective 3/21/2025] Renewals
(1) Licenses for
professional engineers, professional land surveyors, on-site wastewater
treatment system designers, or certificate of competency holders (inspectors)
shall be renewed every two years. The date of expiration shall be the
licensee's birthday. The initial license issued to an individual shall expire
no earlier than one year after the issue date.
(2) To renew your license, complete an
application for renewal, pay the required renewal fee, and provide the
information requested in the renewal notice and application form. This
information may include email address or other contact information. In
addition, you must disclose any criminal conviction or sanction against you
including suspension, revocation, or restriction of your license by a licensing
authority in any state, federal, or foreign jurisdiction pursuant to
RCW
18.235.110 and
18.235.130.
(3) For a professional land surveyor the
renewal application requires completion of professional development
requirements and an attestation by the applicant that they have read chapters
58.09 RCW and 332-130 WAC as part of the renewal process.
(4) For a licensed on-site designer, the
renewal application requires completion of professional development
requirements as part of the renewal process.
(5) If a completed application for renewal
has not been received by the board by the date of expiration (postmarked before
the date of expiration if mailed or transacted online before the date of
expiration), the license is invalid. Licenses that remain expired over 90 days
past the date of expiration require payment of a late fee equivalent to the fee
for a one-year renewal in addition to the base renewal fee and completing a
renewal application.
(6) If your
professional engineer or professional land surveyor license has been expired
for five or more years, you must submit a renewal application and you will be
required to take and receive a passing score on the board's law review
examination. In the first year of reactivated practice professional land
surveyors may be required by the board to collect an additional 15 professional
development hours (PDH).
(7) Any
on-site designer license that remains expired for more than two years will be
canceled. After cancellation, a new application must be made in accordance with
chapter 18.210 RCW to obtain another license.
The licensee is responsible for timely renewal whether or not they receive a renewal notice from the department.
