Easier Maine engineer licenses without exam

The law makes it easier to get a Maine professional engineer license. You can be licensed without another exam if you have an active NCEES Record and meet Maine’s requirements. You can also be licensed without an exam under a mutual recognition agreement with another U.S. state, the District of Columbia, a territory, or a foreign country, if the board decides your credentials are substantially equal. Licensure is granted upon application for people who meet these paths. The law does not set new fees or dates.
