To use the title SE your state should have at least a title act and the requirements for meeting that title act.  If, in fact, the only requirement is passing the SE2 and you have then you may call yourself an SE.  I suspect there are other requirements and you may have met them already such as experience etc.

Food for thought - If you are a registered professional engineer and your state has no such designations can you call yourself a SE if your primary practice is SE?  Or are you limited to using the PE designation?  Seems to me you are limited yet still to the PE only.

Thank you for your response.

The reason I am asking is we are looking to sign and seal drawings in Washington DC area, and from what we know, it requires SE license.  and from what I found out was that SE2 exam was required.  Therefore, I am curious, is that the only "exam requirements"?  Certainly, there are some other paper works, ethic requirements.

Calling your local city board, SeaOT chapter, or ASCE chapter and find out seems like the best way.

I'd call the DC engineering board, or committee, or whatever they have there and ask.  If they require an "SE" then you need to find out how they define the license of SE and ensure that you have met these requirements, filled out the necessary paperwork in DC, and payed the fee for licensure to get on their rolls.

Just passing an SE test doesn't give you license to practice as an SE in any jurisdiction.

I am not aware that DC requires a SE license....

DC is not a state.  It is federal land.  Is this a government job or private sector that you are signing?

It's a private sector job.
I am looking into DC's board of prof engr to obtain more info.
