Guam Professional Engineer Renewal
Guam PE Continuing Education Requirements
Guam currently renews Professional Engineer registrations annually but does not publish a fixed number of mandatory PDH or continuing-education hours for routine renewal.
No quantified continuing-education requirement currently published
Current Guam renewal materials do not establish a fixed PDH total, separate ethics minimum, or PDH carryover requirement for routine PE renewal. Guam law gives the Board authority to require evidence of continuing professional competency, so engineers should check the Board's current renewal notice each year.

Core Requirements
Follow the Board's annual renewal instructions
| Requirement | Guam rule |
|---|---|
| Renewal cycle | Professional Engineer registrations are renewed annually according to the expiration date and instructions issued by the Guam PEALS Board. |
| PDH total | No fixed number of mandatory PDH or continuing-education hours is currently published for routine PE renewal. |
| Ethics requirement | No separate mandatory ethics-hour minimum is currently published for routine renewal. |
| Carryover | No PDH carryover rule is currently applicable because Guam has not published a quantified continuing-education requirement. |
| Renewal submission | Submit the current renewal form, required fee, and any supporting information or clearances identified in the Board's annual instructions. |
| Continuing competency | Guam law and Board materials contemplate continuing professional competency. The Board may request evidence or implement more specific requirements through future rules or renewal instructions. |
| Course preapproval | No course-preapproval process is currently published for satisfying a routine PE renewal requirement. If the Board requests competency evidence, confirm acceptance directly with PEALS. |
Course Standards
Voluntary professional development remains advisable
Useful subject areas
- Engineering design and analysis
- Building codes and regulatory changes
- Public health, safety, and welfare
- Professional ethics
- Risk and project management
- Quality assurance and responsible charge
- Guam-specific permitting and construction practices
- Typhoon, seismic, coastal, and environmental design
Do not describe voluntary education as mandatory: Professional development may help an engineer maintain competence or satisfy another jurisdiction's requirements, but Guam currently does not publish a fixed PDH obligation for routine PE renewal.
Activities and Credit
No Guam PDH conversion schedule currently controls routine renewal
| Activity | Current Guam treatment |
|---|---|
| Online or self-paced courses | May be completed voluntarily or for another jurisdiction, but Guam does not currently publish a PDH conversion or acceptance rule for routine renewal. |
| Live instruction | Seminars, webinars, conferences, and workshops support professional competency but do not satisfy a published Guam hour requirement. |
| College coursework | No semester-hour or quarter-hour conversion is currently published for Guam PE renewal. |
| Teaching or course development | No renewal-credit multiplier is currently published. |
| Publications and presentations | No fixed PDH award is currently published for technical papers, patents, presentations, or similar work. |
| Professional participation | No renewal credit is currently specified for committee service, society participation, mentoring, or community service. |
| Credit for another jurisdiction | Education completed for another licensing board may be retained and reported to that jurisdiction, but it does not create a Guam PDH requirement. |
Online-PDH course format
Online-PDH courses can support voluntary professional development and may satisfy continuing-education requirements in other jurisdictions. Guam licensees should not be told that a course is required for Guam renewal unless the PEALS Board publishes a new requirement.
Records and Audit
Retain renewal and competency records
Because Guam currently publishes no quantified PE continuing-education requirement, no specific CE record-retention period or routine PDH audit procedure is identified for renewal.
Engineers should nevertheless retain renewal confirmations and any competency documentation submitted to the Board. Course records may also be needed for another state or territory where the engineer holds a license.
Follow any direct Board request: If PEALS asks for evidence of continuing competency, respond using the instructions and deadline in the Board's notice even though no routine numeric PDH requirement is currently published.
Special Circumstances
Confirm status-specific requirements with PEALS
Annual expiration
Use the expiration date shown on the engineer's current registration and the Board's annual renewal notice. Do not assume that another jurisdiction's biennial renewal cycle applies in Guam.
Late renewal
Late fees, penalties, or additional reinstatement steps may apply after expiration. Confirm the current amounts and procedure with PEALS before submitting a late renewal.
Inactive or expired registration
Engineers with an inactive, expired, or otherwise noncurrent registration should obtain status-specific instructions from the Board before offering or performing professional engineering services in Guam.
Future CPC requirements
The Board has authority to address continuing professional competency. Review each annual renewal notice for a new attestation, documentation request, or quantified education requirement.
