lapsed PE license experience?
(OP)
Working with an older engineer who is looking to get his lapsed PE back to active. He's a retired guy who comes in for some small jobs, keeps him busy and never hurts to have experience like that even on local culvert sizing. He's 5 years lapsed. Anyone ever work with their state to get a lapsed license back to active? State is having me work with NCEES to put a record together, NCEES wants State to say he passed the exam. Looking for warm and fuzzy stories of success as I continue to work through the web applications and stay on hold with the State during the day. Deep down I am wondering if he will have to retake the test or worse not be allowed for some reason. Michigan.

A friend of mine had his "HVAC qualifier" license lapse. Actually his employer was in charge of renewal and let it lapse. So he had to re-take the test. So I wish your friend good luck that your State licensing board isn't full of a$$ hats.

I think in a lot of states, it takes a new application if the license is lapsed TOO long. Short times (a month or two or three), no problem, just pay extra money and send in the paperwork.
I would not think it took new testing, unless for some reason the testing originally done is no longer adequate. (For example, my TX license didn't require ANY testing when I got it, and I've got one other license grandfathered in without testing.)
The continuing education may be required to be caught up.

I hold 2 licenses in this State, PE with 2-year renewal, and an HVAC qualifier with 3 years. And every once a while I get into panic and look up if I missed the renewal time (so far I haven't
For the HVAC qualifier I know someone who had to re-pass the test because of lapsing. So i never want to find out what my State makes me do to renew a lapsed license.

I can't remember how I got around that but it was not pretty and it cost me $1500
