Connecticut licensing board approves six new land surveyors from multiple states

The State Board of Examiners for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors convened on June 30, 2025, to discuss several key topics, including the approval of newly licensed land surveyors and updates on reciprocity applications.

During the meeting, the board announced the licensing of six new land surveyors, two of whom are based in Connecticut. The remaining four hail from Montgomery, Illinois; Ohio; Texas; and Narragansett. This development reflects a positive trend in the profession, as the board noted the importance of maintaining a diverse pool of licensed professionals.

The board also reviewed applications for licensure under reciprocity, confirming that all applicants met the standards set by the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCWS). However, a suggestion was made to include a verification column in future reports to ensure that all licensed individuals adhere to model law standards. This would help identify any applicants who may have faced disciplinary actions in other states but were still granted reciprocity.

Additionally, the board approved applicants for class 1 credit part 1 and reviewed candidates for class 6 exam credit part 1, with unanimous support for the recommendations made by the Lanzarine team.

The meeting underscored the board's commitment to upholding professional standards while facilitating the licensing process for qualified individuals. The next steps will involve implementing the suggested verification measures to enhance transparency in the licensing process.
