Reciprocity

Reciprocity

Reciprocity

(OP)
How long after our results can we start looking for reciprocity?  Would we have to get our licensure numbers and certificates first?  Or can we go ahead off the strength of just passing the exam?

RE: Reciprocity

You can probably start preparing your reciprocity paperwork.  However, in some states, you are not actually licensed until you send another check to the state board and a piece of paper with your seal on it.  You will probably receive your licensure number with your exam results.  

RE: Reciprocity

You're not licensed until they say you are.

On the other hand, you could start the license process in another state without necessarily being licensed in your home state first.  But it'd be simpler to wait.

If you haven't done so, check into an NCEES Council Record Book.  If you only plan to register in ONE other state, you don't need it.  For two or more additional states, it will simplify things.

RE: Reciprocity

I looked into this and regularly toy with the idea of getting an out of state license and such...

You need, of course, your license number and your registration in-hand before you can think of applying with another state board. Some states may want to see your work, others want you to list, in detail all your projects, etc., etc.
