CHANGING REGISTRATION STATUS

There are two types of registration: practising and non-practising. To carry out professional engineering services in or for Queensland a RPEQ must hold practising status. Non-practising status is designed for RPEQs not currently practising engineering (e.g. career break or parental leave) – RPEQs cannot carry out professional engineering services if registered as non-practising.

RPEQs can change from practising to non-practising, or non-practising to practising online as part of the renewals process. RPEQs changing their registration type should be aware of their continuing registration requirements and the declaration regarding the same in Section C of the application.

  • 4. What happens if I do not renew my registration by the due date?
     

    The PE Act provides for a period following each registration year during which RPEQs who did not renew their registration can apply to have their registration restored. The restoration period is 1 July to 31 August. Applications for restoration made after the restoration period may be accepted by the Board up until the end of February the following year at its discretion and only in extenuating circumstances. Additional fees apply.

  • 5. Can I change my registration status (practising / non-practising) after the renewal period and what do I need to do?
     

    If you are changing from non-practising to practising during the registration year you will need to complete and submit a registration application form (make clear on your application that you are changing your registration status). Additional fees will apply when changing from non-practising to practising.

    For RPEQs changing from practising to non-practising it is recommended that they change their registration status at the next renewal period. There is no benefit to a RPEQ to change their status from practising to non-practising during the registration year and there are no applicable refunds on registration fees.

  • 6. Will I get a new Certificate of Registration sent to me?
     

    Once you have completed and submitted your registration renewal application and made payment you will be able to download your Certificate of Registration from your My Account.

    NB: the Certificate of Registration downloadable from your My Account is your official certificate of registration. The certificate with the Board seal issued to you when you first registered is a commemorative certificate only.

  • 7. Can I pay registration renewal fees for multiple RPEQs (i.e. as part of a payment made by a company)?
     

    No. Registration as a RPEQ is an individual requirement and registration renewal fees must be paid by the individual at the time of renewal.

  • 8. Where can I obtain a payment receipt?
     

    Once you have completed and submitted your registration renewal application and made payment you will be able to obtain your payment receipt from your My Account.

  • 9. Can I submit my registration renewal application and make payment later?
     

    No. Your registration renewal application and payment must be made at the same time.

  • 10. Will I be reminded about registration renewals?
     

    Yes. You will receive a notice of the expiry of your registration by post and/or email before the renewal period and email reminders during the renewal period.

    NB: make sure your contact details – postal and email address – are up to date to receive information about your registration.

  • 11. How will I know if my renewal application has been submitted?
     

    You will receive confirmation by email and will be able to obtain and download your payment receipt and certificate of registration from your My Account.
