of Denial will be sent to you about 3 weeks after the scheduled

My
degree is from an institution outside of the United States. Is

All education received outside of the United States
must be evaluated.

Forms are provided in an online format on their website and can be processed and submitted with a credit card. If the application data is not submitted online, there will be an additional fee.

an educational evaluation.

the provision and apply for a credential (license) by experience
only?

How
do I obtain a registration seal/stamp? What address do I use?
Answer:
Any individual credentialed by the Wisconsin Examining Board of Architects, Landscape Architects, Professional Engineers, Designers and Land Surveyors is required to obtain a registration seal/stamp. A rubber stamp or embossed seal is acceptable. Registration seals are available from most commercial printers or office supply stores.
The requirements for the registration seal/stamp may
be found in sec. A-E 2.02, Wis. Admin. Code which may be found on
our website.
The inner circle area of the seal must include the registrant's name, credential number (use only the numbers before the dash ie. E -11111) and the city and state where the credential holder resides or is employed. The
city and state should be the same as the mailing address that
you have on file with the Department. You may use the city and
state of your employment (other than your home address) if this
is the same as the mailing address on file with the department.
Questions regarding the use of the seal not defined in sec. A-E 2.02, Wis. Admin. Code should be referred to the Department of Commerce, Safety and Building Division at 608-266-3151.
