What this means for firm owners in Kansas
Kansas PE licenses renew on this schedule: biennial; renews April 30. Each PE needs 30 PDH per biennium. Up to 15 PDH can carry forward to the next period.
The Kansas Board of Technical Professions website is the place to confirm current PE renewal dates, professional development requirements, and firm registration rules. Set up a process to track each Kansas PE’s renewal and PDH status, then check the board site for deadlines and requirements before planning workloads or assigning responsible charge.
When hiring a PE licensed elsewhere, confirm the Kansas comity process with the board. Ask whether an NCEES Record applies and what steps the applicant must complete. Check the board site for firm registration requirements before offering engineering services through your firm.
Owner checklist
- Confirm Kansas PE renewal dates and requirements on the board website, and track each staff member’s status.

- For an out-of-state PE hire, confirm Kansas comity steps with the board and whether an NCEES Record is needed.
- Confirm whether and how your firm must register with the board before providing engineering services.
