It's best to check with the local licensing board to find out the procedure for applying to take a Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) exam. Each board has varying requirements and prerequisites for taking a PE exam.

If you are trying to decide which state board to contact, start with the board in the state or U.S. territory where you will do most of your engineering practice. Once you've successfully passed the PE exam in that state or territory and have the designation as a licensed professional engineer, you can facilitate multistate licensing through the NCEES Records Program.
