Endorsement for IL SE
Endorsement for IL SE
(OP)
I am currently a licensed SE in Illinois. I would like to get a Florida PE license. What is the best way to do so? Am I eligible for endorsement with my SE? Do I have to take a PE exam?
I may be missing it, but I cannot find any reference to the SE exam on FBPE.org.

I have some follow-up questions. I might have to just call the Florida Board for answers, but I thought somebody here might have experience.
The application asks for how many times you took the PE and EI. I took the FE twice (and passed it twice, but my transcript was lost the first time). I got a structural engineer intern license as a result of passing it the second time. I took the SE day 1: Vertical Forces twice, and the SE day 2: Horizontal Forces three times. I have not taken any PE exam. So would I put that I have taken the PE 0 times? Or 2, or 3?
Thanks!

I'm thinking that I might get an NCEES record, it may be worth the extra $175+.

Even before that, I heard of guys getting their SE in Illinois, using that to get a PE in Indiana though reciprocity, then using that to get a PE back in Illinois. But they got wise to that.

Then why is there https://fbpe.org/?s=structural and why are SE exams shown on their website?

I still maintain that an SE is not a PE, but that may be because of my bias due to the licensing process in Illinois. I'm not eligible for a PE in Illinois because I only have experience under an SE, and I haven't taken a PE exam (which I hear is a breeze compared to the SE exam). It looks like if I do end up having to take a PE exam, it will be this fall at the earliest.

Not in Illinois. A PE is separate license and an SE is a separate license.

Please check with the Board for any and all questions.
RE: Endorsement for IL SE
It seems to be an irrelevant distinction in other states, so it sounds like I should be fine to get a PE by endorsement.
