Illinois Licensing
(OP)
I am currently a licensed PE and SE, however, I am wanting to be licensed in Illinois as well. Does anyone know the limitations in Illinois between being a PE and SE (i.e. do I need to be both or can I just be a SE)?

You can get their web address at NCEES.org

You can just be an SE, without a PE. But you also need to register your company through the IL Secretary of State if you actually want to do business there. Like I said, kind of a process. Check out that website and you could also try calling. I did and the person that answered was very helpful.
RE: Illinois Licensing
PEs can do just about anything else within their areas of experience or expertise.
IL has probably the toughest rules on this. BTW - architects can do just about anything!! Who has the better lobby??
RE: Illinois Licensing
I would say that the Illinois SEA has a better lobby than the architects because they have made it so restrictive to be able to practice structural engineering in Illinois. They are trying to keep all of the engineering "in house" (to engineers already practicing in Illinois.
RE: Illinois Licensing
You may have a point!! But I still don't understand the architect thing??
RE: Illinois Licensing
It's ridiculous, but that is how I understand it.
