New at NE.gov: Online Reciprocity Licensure for Engineers and Architects

"The Board's intent in expanding its list of online services is to provide more efficient and time-saving options for our professionals," said Jon Wilbeck, executive director of the Nebraska Board of Engineers and Architects. "The new online resource also benefits our staff. Time that would have been spent manually entering data can now be spent completing other tasks."

Applying for a reciprocal license online provides:

• Faster processing: Users can submit information within minutes.
• Cost and Time savings: Avoid postage fees and delays caused by receiving the application by mail.
• Convenient Credit Card or eCheck Payment: Pay by MasterCard, Visa, Discover or eCheck at the time of application.
• Information received faster: The Board is able to receive each application submitted the next day, which is imported into their database. No manual entry is necessary.

Licensure applications seek to gather a full record of an applicant's qualifications and experience. Applicants are encouraged to have the following general information on hand before beginning online: education and degrees acquired, employment history, references, record of exams, and base state of licensure in addition to information specific to each application. Once an application is submitted, the Board and its staff will determine if an applicant meets all necessary requirements. A filing fee of $200 is due at the time of the application submission.
