I had to take a law & engineering exam after reading board rules and state statutes. That's out of the way now, so should have my packet in a week or two. Then...

There is nothing you need to do further. It will take another 5 – 8 weeks for your license and registration certificate to be produced and mailed to you. In the meantime you may check our web site for your name at:http://www.op.nysed.gov/opsearches.htm The next business day after your name appears in that database, your documents will be placed in the mail to you.
