- The Business Name field does not return engineering firms: this board licenses individuals. The board also recommends checking with its enforcement unit because not all enforcement information appears online. [source]
- Licenses expiring and renewing after June 30, 2026 require the board’s Renewal Assessment as part of renewal. Complete it in BPELSG Connect in addition to paying the renewal fee. [source]
