Certificate
of Authorization
Section
34-11-9 of the Licensure Law provides that partnerships,
corporation or firms offering engineering or land
surveying services in Alabama must have a certificate of
authorization issued by the Board of Licensure for
Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors.
Prior to applying for a certificate of authorization there
must be an individual who is a principal officer licensed
in Alabama.
If your firm has not qualified with the
Alabama Secretary
of States Office,
you should contact them to request the necessary forms.
A
licensee practicing engineering or land surveying in his
or her own given name, i.e. Jane Doe, P.E. or Joe Smith,
P.L.S., does not require a certificate of authorization.
If an individual is practicing under a fictitious
name, i.e. Jane Doe Engineering or Joe Smith Surveying,
then the individual is required to have a certificate of
authorization.
One
or more of the principal officers of the corporation,
firm, or partners of the partnership and all personnel of
the corporation, partnership, or firm who act in its
behalf as professional engineers or professional land
surveyors in this state must be licensed by this state.
Each
separate office or branch office in which engineering or
land surveying services are performed or offered to be
performed must have a resident licensed professional
engineer or land surveyor in responsible charge of the
engineering or land surveying work.
If
your company offers both engineering and land
surveying services, you will need to have separate
certificates of authorization for engineering and land
surveying.
If
the company which you are associated with requires
application forms for filing for this Certificate of
Authorization, download the appropriate application and
instructions below. The
same forms are used if there is a change in the company
name or in any of the partners or principal officers
during the year.
The Certificate of
Authorization form can be completed in the PDF format.
