Many states require a certificate of authorization for engineering firms to practice.
The document is issued by the state government and authorizes the firm to do business in that state. The general principle being that the state wants to verify that an engineering firm has the proper qualifications to practice engineering. The regulations vary from state to state with some a little more than a formality and others that are quite onerous. In some states you are breaking the law if you even propose on a project without first having a certificate of authorization. ACEC has a licensure task force whose role it is to define registration issues and be proactive in the establishment of consistent state laws to facilitate mobility of the individual engineer and an open corporate practice.
