Apply for a PE Licence and Pass the Board Review

  1. Create Your NCEES Account and Initiate the Record
    30 min

    What you produce: an active NCEES account and a Record ID number — a 6-to-8-digit number that identifies your dossier to every state board.

    The NCEES Record is the central repository that holds your education, exam history, experience narratives, and references — build it once, release it to any board.

    Create the account.

    1. Go to ncees.org and click Create Account.
    2. After verifying your email, log in and select My NCEES Record → Start a New Record.

    Enter your legal name exactly. Use your full legal name as it appears on your government-issued ID — a mismatch is the most common reason NCEES delays a Record release.

    Personal Information. Include your Social Security number or ITIN — most state boards require it.

    Education. Add every post-secondary institution, the degree awarded, and graduation date.

    Employment. List every engineering position held, with employer name, job title, and start/end dates (month and year).

    Submit and record.

    1. Read the Record acknowledgements carefully, then submit.
    2. Copy the Record ID number into your notes.
