FIRMS OFFERING PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING SERVICES

While Michigan only licenses individuals to practice professional engineering, Section 2010 of the Occupational Code requires that if a firm contracts to provide professional engineering services in Michigan, at least two-thirds of the principals of the firm need to be licensed in Michigan.

If the firm will include principals who are not licensed, each of those unlicensed principals must file for approval with the board office.
