Oklahoma PE license requirements

Since 2021, Oklahoma candidates register for the PE directly with NCEES; the board doesn’t approve you to sit. After meeting the education, exam and experience requirements, you apply to the Oklahoma State Board of Licensure for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors with an NCEES Record (required for initial licensure), a $150 application fee and the Oklahoma Law and Engineering (OLE) exam.
