Renew your registration by December 31

Individual registrants are reminded they must renew their annual registration and pay their fees by December 31. Fees have not changed since last year. Registrants who have not paid their annual fee by December 31 will be subject to late fees (15 percent of fee), and those who have not renewed by January 31, 2026, will have their registration cancelled and their status reflected in the Engineers and Geoscientists BC registrant directory.

The December 31 renewal deadline also applies to registrants who submit their 2025 annual renewal invoice to their employers for payment. Please allow enough time for your employer to process your renewal. Changing to non-practising status To change their registration status to non-practising, registrants may begin the process of registration renewal and select the “Apply for Non-Practising Status” link and

complete the declaration. Please note registrants must still pay a reduced fee after declaring this status. Registrants may move from practising to non-practising status if they are not going to practise professional engineering or geoscience. Registrants who elect this status must sign an annual declaration not to engage in professional practice and use one of two qualified titles: non-practising or retired. Detailed information on non-practising status is available on the website. Resigning without late fees Registrants who are resigning their license with Engineers and Geoscientists BC must do so before December 31, 2025, to avoid late fees. Resigstants can resign by signing into their online account and selecting “Resign Registration” in the left-hand menu.
