News and Updates:

____________________

DAPE's Certificate of Authorization renewal deadline was September 30. All firms that did not renew their certificate by September 30, 2022 are no longer on our active roster and may not provide engineering services in Delaware until the Certificate has been reinstated. Note that DAPE sent Certificates electronically (vs. via USPS) this year. 

____________________

All of our PE licenses are on the same renewal schedule – June 30 in even-numbered years.  If you missed the deadline, you will need to pay a late fee and complete a CPC audit prior to having the license reinstated.

DAPE accepts and reviews applications to take the PE exam year-round (it typically takes 4-6 weeks to process an application). Candidates should apply with DAPE before paying to take the exam on the NCEES website, as you will need DAPE's approval before you can schedule the exam. You can read more about the computer-based PE exam transition here.

Candidates that are interested in taking the PE exam prior to the completion of your work experience requirement, also known as "Decoupling," should e-mail office@dape.org for further information.  

Note: any degree that requires an NCEES credentials evaluation must be reviewed by our examining committee, which meets the last Wednesday of each month.  

Individuals that need DAPE to verify a license or exam can request the verification via NCEES, or email the form required by the state where you are applying to office@dape.org. There is no charge for license/exam verifications.
