The Board of Registration for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors regulates and issues Professional Engineer and Land Surveyor licenses in accordance with state laws.
Military spouses (or registered domestic partners) are eligible for assistance in getting an expedited professional license in Washington state.
If you checked “Military spouse or domestic partner” on your application, we’ll expedite the review of your application. In most cases, once we have approved your completed application, you will be issued a license within 30 days of the approval. Professional Land Surveyor applicants will be required to pass a WA State Professional Land Surveyor exam before a license can be issued.
