CPEng statuses

Current

A Chartered Professional Engineer with current registration has demonstrated current competence and paid their registration fee. They can use the CPEng post nominal and their registration status will show as ‘Current’ on our database.

Not current

A Chartered Professional Engineer whose registration is not current is not allowed to use the CPEng post nominal. Their registration status will show on our database as one of the following:

• On hold if they have voluntarily requested to be placed on hold. This may be for a career break.
• In abeyance if they have not paid their annual registration fee.
• Suspended if they have been suspended by Engineering New Zealand, acting as the Registration Authority. The reason for their suspension will show on our database. Most commonly, this is because they have failed to submit a complete portfolio of reassessment evidence to demonstrate current competence.
