Oh yes. I also have hundreds of business cards that need to be dumped. I am sure the 4000MW Power Station project I am working on now will not mind an itsy bitsy business card expense billed to it (with my supervisor's approval of course )Don't forget your business cards. I've got a box of a thousand that are usless to me now, but it'll be worth the cost.
I have clients in OR, NY & NJ and my email sig and biz cards show the head office in NYC as my address.Unless your job title changes (i.e. was "Staff Engineer" and now that you're a PE it is "Project Engineer"), I wouldn't throw out those old business cards quite yet. Go ahead and get some new ones with "P.E." proudlyy displayed after your name for use in CA. Keep the old ones if you are ever meeting with clients or going after work in states that you are not registered in. Some states (CA included) are very picky about who can call themselves a P.E. or an S.E.. The main times you could run into an issue are in dealing with out of state licensing boards, government offices, and if in-state consultants want to make a stink if for some reason they know you are not registered. I it sounds silly an paranoid but I've run into this before. I am registered in almost 20 states as either a P.E. or an S.E.. I have business cards that show my name, company, title, vital information (address, email, etc) but do not have "P.E" or "S.E." after my name. I have a list at the bottom of the card that shows what states I'm registered in. Of course, if you will only be working in your home state... all bets are off!!
Congradulations the all you new P.E.'s! This is a great accomplishment!
To all those who sit waiting for the stupid Seismic and Surveying exam result... I feel your pain as I too am waiting for those. Try waiting on the 8hr written SE exam (WA for me).... talk about a waiting game! Good luck to all!
You mean the Cali 2.5 hour seismic?So ptatohed - you've been through the wait three times now. Does it get easier the more times you go through it? I'm pretty sure I failed seismic. I dread the wait more than I dread re-taking the exam.

Since I'm a transplant Californian in Colorado and California is my first PE, I ended up with a signature:I have gone with
