Reciprocal registration
Surveyors registered in another jurisdiction may apply for reciprocal registration in Queensland.

Registration expires on 31 December and must be renewed between October and December each year.
Application requirements
Applicants must provide academic transcripts, competency evidence, attend an exit interview and supply two signed references; the board must approve the application.

A four-year surveying degree is required for a cadastral endorsement. Registered surveyors must complete a professional assessment project to obtain endorsements; a consulting endorsement is needed to operate a surveying business.
