Check your PE comity path before you file.
Answer a few licensing questions and see the likely route, the first blockers, and whether your target state is supported before you spend time on the wrong application.
What is PE comity?
PE comity is the process of applying for a professional engineer license in another state based on an existing PE license. It is often called comity, endorsement, or licensure by comity, but it is not an automatic license transfer. Each state board still decides whether the applicant meets its education, exam, experience, reference, background check, and document rules.
How does PE license transfer by comity work?
An NCEES Record can reduce duplicate paperwork, but it does not guarantee approval. AppsVerified checks your current license, target state, discipline, FE and PE exam status, degree type, experience, references, NCEES Record status, timing, and board source notes before suggesting the likely route and first blockers.
V1 covers 10 target boards. Pick a target state in the form to check the route.
Unsupported target states are collected for expansion. This is an application planning tool, not legal advice or a licensing decision.
