PEGNL register lookup.
Professional Engineers and Geoscientists Newfoundland and Labrador (PEGNL) publishes a Public Register. This page explains what you can search and links you to it. It does not search for you.
Short answer: the official place to check is the PEGNL Public Register. Open it, search by name or member number, and read the status on the record.
What the PEGNL Public Register covers
- PEGNL’s home page offers “Search Registry” and “Confirm Engineer, Geoscientist, or Company Registration”.
- The register has two searches: Find an Engineer or Geoscientist, and Find a Company.
- People can be searched by last name, first name, member number, city, postal code, designation and status.
- Designations offered are Professional Engineer, Limited Licensee (Engineer), Engineer-in-Training, Professional Geoscientist, Limited Licensee (Geoscientist) and Geoscientist-in-Training.
- Status options are Entitled to Practice, Not Entitled to Practice, Practice with Supervision and Restricted Practice.
- PEGNL says registration is mandatory for anyone practising engineering or geoscience in the province under the Engineers and Geoscientists Act, 2008.
Check a registrant in Newfoundland and Labrador
- Open the PEGNL Public Register using the button above.
- Pick Find an Engineer or Geoscientist, or Find a Company.
- Search by last name or member number; add designation or status if you need to narrow the list.
- Read the status, not just the name. “Practice with Supervision” and “Restricted Practice” are different from “Entitled to Practice”.
Why check Newfoundland and Labrador engineer or geoscientist registration
People check the register before signing a contract with a consultant or contractor who advertises engineering or geoscience services, before relying on a stamped drawing or report, and when a firm says it holds a Certificate of Authorization or permit. Match the name, the member or licence number and the status to the document in front of you. Our P.Eng vs EIT and stamp guide explains why a title or stamp alone is not proof, and the province finder links every regulator we cover.

Guide only — not a verification tool
This page is a guide to a public register run by the regulator. It does not look up, scrape, store or transmit anyone’s details, and it cannot confirm a licence on its own. Only the regulator’s register, or the regulator itself, can tell you whether someone is currently licensed.
