What is Architect/Engineer Registration Form – Cape Coral, FL?
The Architect/Engineer Registration Form is the one-page application that an architect or engineer completes to register with the City of Cape Coral Building Division, submitted by email together with proof of licensure, a State ID and a Digital Signature Affidavit.
The form collects the registrant's identifying and contact details: the engineer's name, company name, DBA (if applicable), physical address, office phone, office fax, cell phone, email address and a mailing address if it differs from the physical address. It ends with a signature and date line for the architect or engineer.
The form sits in the Contractor Registration folder of the city's Permit Document Center. That center organizes the city's public documents into categories such as Affidavits, Documents Required for Permits, Guidelines and Miscellaneous Documents. This form is a registration form, not a permit application: permit applications, such as Application - Miscellaneous or Application - Trade, are separate documents listed for each type of work.
The form names three required documents that travel with it: a copy of the engineer's Florida DBPR certificate or a copy of the state license for an architect, a State ID, and the Digital Signature Affidavit. The city's Contractor Registrations office handles questions about the form.
Who needs to file Architect/Engineer Registration Form – Cape Coral, FL?
Architects and engineers who need to register with the City of Cape Coral Building Division complete this form. The signature line is labeled for the architect or engineer, and the form asks for a company name, so it is meant for a licensed professional registering personally, with the firm's details.
The documents the form requires show who it is for:
- Engineers: a copy of the engineer's Florida DBPR certificate.
- Architects: a copy of the state license for an architect.
Every registrant also provides a State ID and a Digital Signature Affidavit. If you do a business under a different name, fill in the DBA line; if your mailing address is not your physical address, fill in the mailing address block.
The form does not describe any way for another person to sign for the architect or engineer, and it names no other group of users. For questions about whether you need to register, contact Contractor Registrations at [email protected] or 239-574-0870.
