WAC 196-26A-040   Renewals for professional engineer and professional land surveyor licenses.  The date of renewal, renewal interval and renewal fee is established by the director of the department of licensing in accordance with chapter 43.24 RCW. To renew a license, the licensee must:

     (1) Include payment of the renewal fee;

     (2) Include the licensee's Social Security number as provided for by RCW 26.23.150; and

     (3) Include any name/address changes that apply.

     If a completed application for renewal has not been received by the department by the date of expiration (postmarked before the date of expiration if mailed or transacted on-line before the date of expiration), the license becomes invalid. Licensees who fail to pay the renewal fee within ninety days of the date of expiration are required to pay an additional penalty fee equivalent to the fee for a one-year renewal. It is the responsibility of each licensee to renew their license in a timely manner regardless of whether they received a renewal notice from the department.

     The licenses for individuals registered as professional engineers or professional land surveyors shall be renewed every two years or as otherwise set by the director of the department of licensing. The date of renewal shall be the licensee's date of birth. The initial license issued to an individual shall expire on the licensee's next birth date. However, if the licensee's next birth date is within three months of the initial date of licensure, the original license shall expire on his or her second birth date following original licensure.
