Missouri PE license requirements

In Missouri you register for the PE directly with NCEES and, once you’ve passed the FE, can take it before gaining four years of experience; don’t send an approval application to the board. After passing, you apply for licensure to the Board for Architects, Professional Engineers, Professional Land Surveyors and Professional Landscape Architects; applications sent before you have four full years of experience are returned unprocessed.
