Board Begins Biennial P.E., P.S. Renewal Cycle
Pursuant to changes in law (H.B. 153 129th General Assembly), the Board has changed to a biennial renewal cycle for professional engineers and professional surveyors beginning with the 2012-2013 renewal cycle. All professional engineers and professional surveyors will renew every other year and be required to obtain 30 hours of continuing professional development during the two year renewal cycle. If a licensee exceeds the 30-hour requirement during the renewal period, a maximum of 15 hours may be carried forward into the subsequent renewal period. The biennial renewal fee is $40.00 for each license.

About P.E., P.S. Online Renewal
REMINDER…Company Certificates of Authorization cannot be renewed online.
Each renewal notice contains a unique user ID and password which will serve as an electronic signature and enable you to renew your license by credit card.
You will be linked to a secure electronic commerce server hosted by Skipjack Merchant Services. The credit card transactions will be processed on this secure server which is separate from the web server that hosts our website. Transactions from this secure server will be posted to Ohio’s Treasurer of State. The Board does not receive any information that connects a licensee with a particular credit card number.
The credit card renewal website will guide you through the renewal process. The information that you provide for each step in the process will determine the next step. We suggest that if you renew your license by credit card and you do not receive a reasonably quick response (a web page with an approval code), that you wait 30 minutes and see if you receive a confirmation of the transaction by email. If you do receive a confirmation, then you renewed your license successfully.
The Board accepts American Express, Discover Card, Mastercard and VISA for online renewal. The Board only accepts check or money order for paper renewal.
