Arizona does not issue a separate Structural Engineer license. Structural engineering is practiced under the Professional Engineer (PE) license, which renews every two years (biennial) with no state PDH requirement. PE License Pro tracks your PE here and reminds you before it lapses.

Free for your first license. We'll remind you at 90, 60, and 30 days before every renewal, for Arizona and every other state you hold.

How structural engineering licensure works in Arizona

Arizona does not issue a separate Structural Engineer license. Structural engineers practice under the Professional Engineer (PE) license and renew it like any other PE.

Arizonadoes not require continuing education for PE (and therefore SE) renewal. If you hold licenses in other states, you'll still need to track their CE.

An SE is earned via the NCEES 16-hour Structural Engineering exam, taken after you hold a PE. PE License Pro tracks your SE and PE side by side and applies the Arizona renewal rule to both.
