Renewal Period

PURPOSE: This rule establishes the licensing period for the Missouri Board for Architects, Professional Engineers, Professional Land Surveyors, and Professional Landscape Architects and establishes the information required to keep the records of the board current. (1) The license issued to every architect, professional engineer, professional land surveyor, and professional landscape architect in Missouri shall be renewed biennially. Licenses originally issued in an odd numbered year renew by December 31 of each odd numbered year. Licenses originally issued in an even numbered year renew by December 31 of each even numbered year. (2) The certificates of authority issued to corporations authorized to offer architectural, engineering, land surveying, and landscape architectural services in Missouri shall be renewed biennially. Certificates of authority originally issued in an odd numbered year renew by December 31 of each odd numbered year. Certificates of authority originally issued in an even numbered year renew by December 31 of each even numbered year. (3) Each renewal application from every architect, professional engineer, professional land surveyor, and professional landscape architect in Missouri shall be accompanied by the following information, in addition to any other information the board may require: (A) Name; and (B) Address. (4) Each person holding a license and each corporation holding a certificate of authority to practice architecture, professional engineering, professional land surveying, and professional landscape architecture in Missouri shall file, in writing, their proper and current mailing address of record with the board at its office in Jefferson City and immediately notify the board, in writing, at its office of any changes of mailing address, giving both the old and the new addresses. (5) Failure to receive an application for renewal of a license or certificate of authority shall not relieve the licensee or certificate holder from their duty to timely renew, nor relieve them from the obligation to pay any additional fee(s) necessitated by any late renewal. (6) The licensee may renew his/her license or certificate of authority within three (3) months from the license renewal date without penalty. A license or certificate not renewed within three (3) months of the license renewal date automatically expires on the renewal date and becomes void. The holder of the expired license or certificate loses any rights or privileges under such license, but may within the discretion of the board, and upon payment of the required fee, be relicensed or reauthorized under the licensee’s original license number.
