Changing your type of registration
You may change your type of registration from practising to non-practising, or vice versa, at any time.
There is no restriction on how long you can be registered as a non-practising professional engineer.
While you are registered as a non-practising professional engineer you cannot be endorsed to work in the building industry.
If you are registered and endorsed to work in the building industry and you change to a non-practising registration, your endorsement will be suspended by the Business Licensing Authority (BLA).
