South Dakota Board of Technical Professions

License Renewal

Starting on Monday, April 29, 2024, the BoTP web portal will be unavailable as we work through the final stages of launching a new and improved licensee portal. If you need to renew your licensee while the system is down, please call the office at 605.394.2510 for assistance to avoid reinstatement charges. Check this website often for updates.

All professional licenses issued by the Board expire two years after the date of issuance and become invalid unless renewed by that date. Any licensed professional engineer, architect, land surveyor, landscape architect or petroleum release assessor or remediator who desires to continue to practice or offer to practice the licensee's profession in South Dakota must complete the renewal process. Also, any business entity holding a certificate of authorization from the Board must renew that certificate of authorization to continue to practice or offer professional services in South Dakota. The Board will send an email reminder notice to licensees two months prior to expiration of their license; however, it is the licensee's responsibility to renew the license on time to avoid late renewal penalty fees and to continue to practice the profession in South Dakota.

The PDH log MUST be submitted to sdbtp@state.sd.usPRIOR to license expiration for renewal application to be considered.
