INSTRUCTIONS AND GENERAL INFORMATION FOR

RENEWAL OF ENGINEER’S AND BOILER OPERATOR’S LICENSES

1. Important Note: A first-time license is valid for only 1 year from the date it is issued. To keep the license

active and to avoid a late fee and/or penalty, you must renew the licenses before the date of expiration.

You may renew your license for a 1-year period or a 3-year period [N.J.A.C. 12:90-8.19(a)].

2. Expiration Date Format: MM/DD/YYYY = Month/Date/Year (for example, 02/25/2016 is February 25,

2016).

3. Renewing a License – A license may be renewed 60 days before it expires, or when you receive a

“Renewal Notification” from this agency. Apply to renew your license by completing this application.

4. Acceptable Renewals – Licenses may be renewed if any outstanding penalties or judgments are paid,

and if a license has not been expired more than 3 years. (NOTE: If a license renewal is more than 3 years

overdue, the license is inactive and therefore not renewable. In accordance with the provisions

established by law, records of inactive licenses may be destroyed [N.J.S.A. 34:7-3]. An application to

renew a license that expired more than 3 years ago is considered an original application.

5. Renewal Fee, Late – A late renewal (up to 3 months past expiration) is allowed, provided that the

appropriate fee is paid ($120 for a 1-year renewal; $240 for a 3-year renewal). Renewals that are 4

months or more overdue are assessed a penalty. If your license expired at least 4 months ago, it is

imperative that you call (609) 292-2921 to find out the penalty fee required to renew an expired

license.

6. Renewal Fee, Lost – This agency assumes no liability and is not responsible for any fee that is not

received on time or that is lost while in transit.

7. Passport style photograph – You are required to provide a 2”x 2” passport style formatted photograph.

8. Signature - Please sign your signature on a separate paper with a white background that does not have

lines in “Black or Blue Ink” in the center of the page. No pencils or other ink color is allowed. Your

Signature must be legible and easy to read. Photocopies are not acceptable. In addition, please print

your name at the top or bottom of the paper.

9. Email - Email address must be provided on renewal application.

10. Date of birth – Every licensee must provide their date of birth on the renewal application. MM/DD/YYYY

= Month/Date/Year (for example, 02/25/2016 is February 25, 2017)

11. Change of Address – Every licensee must notify this agency of any change in residence [N.J.A.C.

12:90-8.2(j)]. When doing so, provide your name, current address, license number.

12. Posting the License – All ORIGINAL licenses must be framed and properly posted adjacent to the

equipment requiring the license, or in the engineer’s office or plant office, whichever is suitable. Failure

to post an ORIGINAL license may result in a penalty of at least $500 against the operator, supervisor

and/or management [N.J.A.C. 12:90-8.17(c)].

13. Replacing a License or ID card – An altered, defaced, or otherwise mutilated license or identification

card will be replaced only after review by this agency. Photostats, photographs or reproductions of a

license are neither valid nor recognized. A fee of $20 will be imposed for a replacement license and

$12 for a replacement ID card.

14. Suspension or Revocation of License – An operator’s license may be suspended or revoked for

incompetence, negligence, intoxication, or drug abuse while on duty, or for any other valid reason

establishing that the licensee is unfit to hold a license. Any person who uses an expired license to

perform the duties of a licensee is subject to a penalty of at least $500, and up to $5,000, per day. The

supervisor and/or employer also may be subject to a similar penalty. A licensee whose license is

suspended or revoked has the right to request a hearing conducted by one or more members of the

Examining Board [N.J.A.C. 12:90-8.18(f)]. If you fail to appear for a scheduled hearing, your license will

be suspended indefinitely. A licensee who disagrees with the decision of the Examining Board may

appeal to the Commissioner, pursuant to N.J.A.C. 12:90-9.

NOTE: Applications and If you receive an electronic version of your passport style photograph,

please submit it and your separate handwritten signature, to the MIBBPVC email address

BPVRCompliance@dol.nj.gov with the subject line “Photo/Signature for License Renewal”).
