South Dakota Board of Technical Professions
License Renewal
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 licensee may renew his or her license online by using the links provided below.
