NOTE: An official academic transcript must be sent to the Board's office directly from the college Registrar’s office if no NCEES record is submitted. Only transcripts sent directly from the school to the Board’s office will be accepted. Electronic transcripts will be accepted if sent by secure service. Submit the Engineering Checklist form for Non-EAC/ABET accredited Degrees:
Foreign Degree applicants: For each unapproved institution not located in the U.S. (with the exception of the original signatories of the Washington Accord, which are Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa and the United Kingdom) the applicant must provide an official course-by-course evaluation sent directly from an evaluation company to the Board’s office. See www.ncees.org or www.naces.org for a list of accepted evaluation companies. The Board will only accept evaluations from companies that obtain transcripts directly from the institution. Submit the Engineering Checklist form where the degree is obtained from a school that is not EAC/ABET accredited.
REFERENCES OF CHARACTER – Please submit information required below from at least five individuals unrelated to the applicant. At least three of such individuals must be professional engineers who have personal knowledge of the applicant’s engineering experience, but are not listed as one of the endorsers of your work experience.

GENERAL INFORMATION
APPLICATION REVIEW
The Board meets monthly, typically on the second Thursday of each month. All completed Reciprocal Applications are reviewed and considered at that time.
Applications with a "MLE" (Model Law Engineering NCEES Council Record) are reviewed and approved administratively on an ongoing basis.
Board staff reviews pending reciprocal applications periodically for completeness, and will forward a notice to applicants noting any missing documentation. After three notices an application may be denied for incompleteness.
NOTIFICATION
Approved applicants are notified in writing shortly after the Board/Administrative approval. The Board’s office will provide those applicants with applicable license numbers, as well as directions on how to obtain a copy of the license.
Maryland licenses expire two years after the date of issuance. The license renewal fee is $76.00 for the next two years. DLLR sends a notice of renewal with instructions on how to renew approximately 60 days prior to the license expiration date to the address of record. The Board reminds all licensees that it is their responsibility as professionals to maintain their licenses if they are practicing in Maryland, to renew them in a timely manner, and to notify the office of any change of address promptly. Failure to renew may result in additional fines and penalties.
