The continuing professional development requirements of Louisiana will be deemed as satisfied when a non-resident engineer or land surveyor provides evidence of having met the requirements of the licensee's resident jurisdiction; provided, however, that as part of satisfying these requirements, non-residents practicing engineering in Louisiana who design buildings and/or building systems in Louisiana must meet the requirements of 3105.C.3, as applicable, and non-residents practicing land surveying in Louisiana must meet the requirements of 3105.B.2. If the non-resident engineer or land surveyor resides in a jurisdiction that has no continuing professional development requirements applicable to that licensee, the licensee must meet all requirements of Louisiana. |

All licensure renewal applications will require the completion of a board-approved renewal form. By completing and returning this form, the licensee is certifying that he/she has met all requirements for licensure renewal, including CPD requirements. This form will also contain an affirmation which must be completed if the licensee desires to change his/her license status. In addition, the licensee will be required to maintain the board-approved Professional Development Activity Log outlining PDHs claimed. The licensee must complete all sections of the form and be prepared to submit the completed form and any corresponding documentation to the board upon request. Blank forms can be obtained from the board's website. Maintaining records to be used to support PDHs claimed is the responsibility of the licensee. These records must be maintained for at least three consecutive biennial licensure renewal periods (six years) and copies may be requested by the board at any time. |
