Reinstatement

Professional Engineers previously licensed in Nebraska whose license has been expired for more than a year must submit the following to be reinstated to practice:

• A complete new Application for Licensure of a Professional Engineer and $150 filing fee or apply online;
• Documentation of Continuing Education compliance during the previous two-year period, including a Continuing Education Log showing the type of activities, claimed and attendance verification records in the form of completion certificates or other documents supporting evidence of attendance. The CE log and attendance verification records must be arranged in order by completion date and combined into one document, such as a PDF. If the Board receives materials not in compliance with this requirement, the information will not be accepted, and the licensee will be required to resubmit their information in conformance with the requirements.
• A License Reinstatement Affidavit.
• Passage of an exam on the Nebraska Engineers and Architects Regulation Act.

For international design professionals seeking work in Nebraska through reinstatement, Nebraska law requires that the individual provide documentation that they are lawfully present in the US, even if they do not plan to be physically in Nebraska or visit a project site in Nebraska. The documentation is then submitted to the US Department of Homeland Security for verification. If we cannot obtain verification, we cannot issue the license. 

All reinstated licensees must meet current requirements for licensure. The previous license number will be retained.

Please note: If you are coming to the NBEA office to pay any fees associated with reinstatement- you MUST have a check or exact cash. The NBEA office does not accept card payments.
