Passed PE.. can I change my credentials?

Passed the PE! 

Can I change my credentials from EIT to PE or do I need to wait for something?  I want to change those dang letters!

ugh in CA this only mean you're closer but not there yet..

I still have to take Seismic and Surveying until I can change my credentials.. 

I wouldn't change my credentials until I had a license number. That can come from online, a wall certificate, a pocket card, whatever. I felt I needed some sort of confirmation from my respective board saying I was a licensed engineer, not just NCEES telling me I passed the PE exam.

You wouldn't want to be accused of engineering when you aren't an actual engineer.  I would say once you have an official license number you can update everything and get your stamp. 

What he said she said he said is right.

Thanks!

It's okay, she's purposely mystical.

not until you officially get a license number. 

Congratulations on passing. I would wait until your receive correspondence from your licensing board. They should be issuing you a letter of the next steps. The Mississippi Board in their letter congratulated me and gave me instruction on what I needed to do to receive my license which was to obtain my seal and send in a letter with my seal. Fortunately the letter also said that even though I had not received my license yet, I can use the new initials. Even though they allowed it in Mississippi though, doesn't mean it will be the same in your state. So wait for your letter from the Board.
