SEAOG has no authority on licensure within the state of Georgia or elsewhere. All information on this website is provided a professional courtesy to the structural engineering community, and simply represents our best understanding of the current state rules, regulations, and policies. Georgia's Board of Professional Engineers & Land Surveyors (commonly known as the "PELS Board") is responsible for setting standards for professional engineering and land surveying licensure in the state of Georgia. They "review applications, administer examinations, license qualified applicants, and regulate the professional practice of licensees throughout the state". All applications and questions related to the licensing process should be directed to the PELS Board. 

As a professional service, SEAOG has authored several documents intended to assist the structural engineering community with navigating licensure in our state. These documents represent SEAOG's best understanding. The PELS Board, its Rules and Regulations, and Georgia law are the governing authorities regarding all requirements and implementation.
