    Confirm your license class and renewal date

    Utah sets engineers requirements by license class (PE/PSE/PLS biennial continuing professional education (30 hrs)). Check the class printed on your license, then note your renewal date — renewals run a fixed statewide date — every licensee renews on the same day; the next fixed deadline is March 31, 2027.

    Complete 30 hours of board-approved continuing education

    Make sure your hours reach the board

    In Utah, you keep your certificate of completion and present it to the board if asked.
