How long is the application processing timeline?  \nApplications currently take a minimum of 45 to 60 business days to process. If an application is deficient (e.g. documents missing, Board requests additional clarification, etc. ), this may delay the processing timeline. We cannot continue processing applications until all deficiencies are remedied.  \n2. Can I expedite my application?  \nThere is no option to expedite an application. All applications are reviewed in the order in which they are received.  \n3. Can I submit online?  \nYes, you may submit online by creating a “MyPVL” account: [https://mypvl.dcca.hawaii.gov/](https://mypvl.dcca.hawaii.gov/. If)[. If](https://mypvl.dcca.hawaii.gov/. If)[ ](https://mypvl.dcca.hawaii.gov/. If)you submit your application online, there is also an option for online payment.  \nYou may alternatively submit hard-copies of the application, supplementary materials, and check payment to our office by mailing:  \nDCCA-PVL  \nAttn: EASLA  \nP.O. Box 3469  \nHonolulu, HI 96801  \nCheck payable to: “Commerce & Consumer Affairs”  \n4. Where can I access the application form?  \nApplication form and supplemental verification forms can be downloaded as PDFs on our website: [https://cca.hawaii.gov/pvl/boards/engineer/](https://cca.hawaii.gov/pvl/boards/engineer/)  \n5. How long do I have to complete the application process?  \nPursuant to HRS section 436B-9, your application shall be considered abandoned and shall be destroyed if you fail to complete the licensure process within one (1) year after filing an application or fail to take and pass the examination after becoming eligible to take the  \nexamination.  \nIf an application is deemed abandoned, you are required to re-apply for licensure and meet the licensing requirements at the time of re-application.  \n6. I’m already licensed in another state. How do I apply via reciprocity?  \nHawaii does not license by reciprocity. Even if you hold a license in another jurisdiction and already have an NCEES/NCARB/CLARB Record, all applicants must still submit a Hawaii  \napplication form, fees, and related documents.  \nNote: Additional documentation may be requested, even if you provided similar information foryour NCEES/NCARB/CLARB Record.  \nPlease be reminded that all states have their own licensing authority and governing laws/rules over the profession. Requirements may vary state by state, sometimes significantly.  \n7. Is the Board party to any international Mutual Recognition Agreements (MRAs) or other international reciprocity agreements?  \nNo. The Board is not a signatory on any existing MRAs. Therefore, international applicants must still meet all the Hawaii requirements to qualify for Hawaii licensure.  \nAlthough the Board is a member of NCEES, NCARB, and CLARB, and is aware that these organizations have signed MRAs/other international agreements, Hawaii is not party to these agreements.  \n8. What are the pathways to licensure in Hawaii?  \nIf you hold a current license in another jurisdiction, you will be applying for licensure via endorsement. Note that endorsement is not the same as “reciprocity.”  \nIf you do not hold a current license in another jurisdiction, you will be applying for licensure via exam (to test or for “initial licensure” if you have passed all the tests but do not hold a license in another jurisdiction) .  \nFor additional details on licensure requirements for the specific professional engineer, architect, surveyor, or landscape architect license type, please see the instructions on the application forms as well as the Board’s laws/rules: [https://cca.hawaii.gov/pvl/boards/engineer/](https://cca.hawaii.gov/pvl/boards/engineer/)  \n9. I already transmitted my NCEES/NCARB/CLARB records to Hawaii. Do I need to submit anything else?  \nRegardless of NCEES/NCARB/CLARB re","cbCaioF7EkaP4BjI","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioF7EkaP4BjI","pdf",289983,14,"English","# General Questions - Application Process\n## Application timeline and deficiencies\n## Expediting and submission methods\n## Forms access and application deadlines\n## Reciprocity, endorsement, and international agreements\n## NCEES/NCARB/CLARB records and individual verifications","[{\"question\":\"How long does it take to process an EASLA application?\",\"answer\":\"Applications currently take a minimum of 45 to 60 business days.
